Quebec psychiatrists are calling for the creation of a dedicated provincial minister responsible for mental health. According to reports, the president of the Quebec psychiatrists’ association says a single minister would help coordinate mental-health actions across different parts of government, including provincial and other relevant levels. The proposal is framed as a way to improve planning and alignment of services and policies rather than addressing mental-health issues in a fragmented manner. The call reflects a view that governance and accountability for mental-health initiatives could be strengthened through clearer leadership and a focused portfolio. The reports indicate the recommendation is presented publicly by psychiatrists’ representatives and focuses on the role such a minister would play in bringing together stakeholders and ensuring that policy efforts are coordinated. The specific details of how the position would be structured, what changes would follow, and whether the government has responded were not included in the provided summaries.
