Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It seems we are always using the excuse that it is lack of money, but we are able to fund a Regional Specialist Committee, which must take money to run and operate. I mean we are putting the money where our mouth is. Why do we not put it where the people will benefit the most, which is having mental health workers to assist people in need rather than having a committee in place to make decisions on behalf of those people to say what is good for them? If communities are demanding a mental health worker than I think that community should have the resources to do it versus having the money being spent at the regional office in relation to having specialists which should be in the communities.
