Yes
Take away the stigma surrounding mental health, help people talk to each other and professionals, fix the issues with the waiting list and referral system by using a hybrid system, have well trained individuals working on a personal level.

Yes
Allowing mental health to be not just a provincial jurisdiction but a municipal one as well. Accessibility and removing the stigma are big focuses, the former especially regarding indigenous individuals, and recognizing that there is no one size fits all for mental health.
