Mental Health Commission
Published on 6 October 2016 Hansard and Statements by Senator James Cowan (retired)Hon. James S. Cowan:
Honourable senators, I want to return to the theme that Senator Carignan raised, and that’s the issue of mental health.
The previous government, towards the end of its mandate, did renew the mandate of the Mental Health Commission of Canada for a further period of time, I think extending out a total of eight years. There was discussion then about negotiating a new mandate for the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
I wonder if you could find out and tell us as quickly as possible the status of those negotiations. It’s my understanding that the mandate has not been finalized, but I’d like to know what the status of the discussion is and when we might expect to hear the form of the new mandate of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
