Today in the Legislature I questioned the Premier on funding changes that would mean the end of a very successful pilot project that was undertaken in Lanark County.

Funding from the Solicitor General was provided to the Lanark County OPP to establish a Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) which saw a mental health nurse ride with police.

The Solicitor General misled the House telling us that cutting the successful Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) pilot, which saw a mental health nurse ride with police, was an “operational decision” by the OPP. It wasn't.
