I would have thought given that these responses and the information and action items, if you actually read through them, they do seem vague. They’re not always clear. I’ll just give you a real quick example.
We asked the government to mandate prevention and early intervention and include a presumption of prevention and early intervention in the principles of the act. They responded by saying the presumption of prevention and early intervention is implicit. This is what I talked about in my Member’s statement. We read the act. We’ve identified the sections that they’ve identified in their response. We also felt it was implicit. But it’s not being done in the communities. It’s not happening on the ground. What we’re looking for is explicit action. If we make it explicit in the act, then it will happen.
Going to the Minister’s agreement or commitment to meet with us, I understand that they’re also developing a strategic plan. It’s identified in this. My question to the Minister is: will she commit to meeting with us and sitting down with us and going through each of the recommendations and the suggested responses to find some common ground so that both sides understand what is going on here? We know what we expected. We don’t fully understand the recommendations, but I’m not sure they fully understood our recommendations. I’d like to sit down with the Minister and have a meeting going through point by point. Will the Minister commit to doing that prior to developing a strategic plan?
