Then every single community in the country has to try to fit the criteria. Then they are denied by bureaucrats. That is not useful. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268854\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to see a commitment come out of tonight's debate. When ITK and the Inuit have a mental health strategy, if it is a qualified plan, they implement it themselves. In the Nishnawbe Aski Nation territory, if they have a plan for mental health that works for their communities, they implement it. It is no longer the hamster wheel of programs running in these various departments, because they are programs that fail.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268855\" data-originallang=\"en\">In terms of mental health services, I would like to hear my colleagues say that we will take the funds here and put them into the regions so that they can do what needs to be done, culturally and correctly.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4268851\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je veux donner suite \u00e0 ce que mon coll\u00e8gue a dit \u00e0 propos de la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 que les communaut\u00e9s autochtones trouvent leurs propres solutions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268852\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous parlons de choses formidables ce soir. Cependant, la pire chose qui pourrait d\u00e9couler du d\u00e9bat est un programme vou\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9chec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268853\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne veux pas offenser les fonctionnaires du minist\u00e8re des Affaires autochtones ou de Sant\u00e9 Canada, mais lorsqu'ils \u00e9laborent un programme et qu'ils l'annoncent, toutes les communaut\u00e9s du pays doivent tenter de se conformer aux crit\u00e8res \u00e9tablis, puis elles se voient refuser l'acc\u00e8s au programme par des bureaucrates. Ce n'est pas utile.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268854\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais que le d\u00e9bat de ce soir m\u00e8ne \u00e0 un engagement. Quand l'ITK et les Inuits adoptent une strat\u00e9gie en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 mentale, si elle s'inscrit dans un r\u00e9gime admissible, ils la mettent en oeuvre eux-m\u00eames. Si la nation Nishnawbe-Aski a un plan de sant\u00e9 mentale qui fonctionne pour ses communaut\u00e9s, elle le met en oeuvre. Les divers minist\u00e8res n'ont plus \u00e0 mettre au point toute une s\u00e9rie de programmes, qui \u00e9chouent les uns apr\u00e8s les autres.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268855\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les services de sant\u00e9 mentale, j'aimerais entendre mes coll\u00e8gues dire que les fonds qui sont ici seront investis dans les r\u00e9gions afin de leur permettre de faire correctement ce qui s'impose, dans le respect de leur culture.</p>"
