Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to follow up on my general comments about
the mental health programs. Specifically, I know the Minister is aware that this House is on record as wanting to see action in the way of diversion in particular, especially diversion from our court systems and corrections systems, which are ineffective without mental health issues being addressed and certainly very expensive and drawing resources away. On top of that, the crime bill, Bill C-10, is exacerbating those costs greatly and detracting from other important programs. My more specific questions for the Minister are, I’d like to start with: What has the department done to date? What is planned for in this budget? What resources have been identified to do that work?
