Let me make it easy for this committee. The whole world has gone crazy.

As if the Auditor General has a friggin' clue about mental health -- or anything health related, for that matter.
Perhaps the OAG should focus on what accountants typically do instead of trying to be experts in highly complex, dynamic fields that they and their aspiring staff know next to nothing about.

You are not qualified nor competent and you are making things worse on Aug 5, 2021 at 4:15 pm
FFS! This is another exercise in watching people who have no business commenting on mental health because they have no specific training in it set the standard that will take us in the opposite direction of good mental health service provision. Nice!
Get the doctors and psychiatrists out of the way and actually install good quality mental health services. YG should be restricted to resource provision rather than mental service provision given its political nature.
