Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there was a three-year plan, as the Member has indicated. We have completed the first two years. There has been a lot of discussion in the House about what is happening. As well, we thought it was an appropriate time to take a look at work that had been done. To that end, we did ask Dr. Chalmers to come back to take a look at what we had responded to in terms of her initial report back in 2001, the State of Emergency. That report will be tabled in this House and presented to committee members here before the rise of this House.
Basically, Mr. Speaker, we have 77 positions to date. There are 45 community wellness workers that are now in place, 24 mental health and addiction counsellors, as well as eight clinical supervisors. Mr. Speaker, a quick and important note is that, at the national level, there has been an agreement finally. The Member, in her statement, referenced mental health as the last taboo. There was an agreement at the FPT table in support for the setting up of a national mental health committee similar to the health council to provide an oversight and an ability to look at what is happening in mental health services across Canada, because it is recognized that it is an area that is fragmented, under-recognized, under-represented, and there is a need for us to collaboratively, at the national level in all of the provinces and territories with the federal government, work together. The hope is that the new federal government and the Minister of Health, Minister Clement, will honour that commitment, if we can move forward, not only with the work we are doing here but with that very important move to get a national approach to mental health services. Thank you.
