00:00:00.000 I listened intently to the member from Ottawa South's speech, and I'm happy that he is
00:00:13.040 going to be supporting this bill because it's very important.
00:00:16.320 I wanted to comment directly with reference to some of the organizations he mentioned
00:00:21.520 in the Ottawa area.
00:00:23.560 On July 2 of 2019, our government actually issued a press release stating that we are
00:00:29.960 making an additional investment on top of what was already promised of more than $5.1 million
00:00:36.080 this year alone to support people, families, and caregivers in the Ottawa area. The press release
00:00:42.600 actually lists 19 organizations. For example, Breer Continuing Care is receiving a rent
00:00:49.380 supplement supportive housing program of $2,530. Canada Mental Health Association of Ottawa
00:00:56.840 is receiving $625,968 this year alone.
00:01:02.460 The Centre Psychosocial is receiving over $100,000.
00:01:08.040 We also have Centre Town Community Health Centre,
00:01:11.120 Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario,
00:01:13.260 Crossroads Children's Mental Health Centre,
00:01:15.960 the Jewish Family Services of Ottawa,
00:01:18.260 the Montfort Renaissance Inc.,
00:01:20.220 Ottawa Hospital, Champlain,
00:01:22.140 Ottawa Hospital, we're giving 10 more inpatient mental health beds,
00:01:26.320 the Ottawa Inner City Health Inc., Psychiatric Survivors of Ottawa, Robert Smart Centre, Royal Ottawa Health Care Group, Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre,
00:01:36.560 the Shepherds of Good Hope, Somerset West Community Health Centre, Vanier Community Services Centre, and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa
00:01:44.500 are all receiving additional funding, Mr. Speaker, on top of what was already allotted to them this year.
00:01:51.340 So I'm glad the member is supportive.
00:01:54.360 I think that our government is taking the right steps in providing resources, as mentioned,
00:02:00.680 to support these organizations so that they can protect what matters most, which is the people of Ontario.
00:02:05.380 Thank you.
