Finance committee  In my opinion, it is very important to ensure that the mental health needs of the entire population are met. We have an aging population, and all Canadians must be able to contribute to the economy. Good mental health and access to services in one's language are among those needs

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Equity between mental and physical health care is fundamental to ensuring productivity and economic competitiveness in Canada. The Mental Health Commission of Canada and the Canadian Mental Health Association have been very vocal on the urgent need to act.
