Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I have two questions and both of them, really, come under the category of grants and contributions, especially contributions. The next page obviously breaks down that contribution in terms of the different types of funds and programs.
One of particular interest to me is the mental health and addictions, which is at $1 million, and the unaligned healing, which is a $225,000. Sorry, mental health and addictions at $625,000 and unaligned healing at $1 million. Given the nature of the day when the majority of Members here spent a large part of our day talking about the importance of mental health and addictions, especially the mental health component, I find it odd that we actually are spending less money this year than last year. It’s not a lot less, but it’s about $150,000 less.
Can the Minister give us a rationale? Given what we’ve spoken to today, given the attitude of wanting to make change and do better and advance the agenda of mental health in a stigma-free Canada and a stigma-free North, you would think they’d be putting a bit more money, not taking away. What is the rationale for less investment this year? Thank you.
