Committee Motion 9-17(5): Mental Health And Addictions Action Plan, Defeated
Consideration in Committee of the Whole of Bills and Other Matters (Reversion)

For years we’ve heard how we have to bump up our mental health services and resources in order to get that wellness court and now we’re saying no, no, it’s all up to Justice to come up with the bucks for it. It just makes sense to me that the major part needs to be mental health services. So I guess I heard 0.5, a half a person here is what the Minister is committing to this wellness court business at some point in time perhaps. I mean, this is shameful after years of

discussions and the passing of motions in this House. When will this mental health and wellness court actually happen on a pilot basis, and can the Minister describe the role Health and Social Services will play in it?
