Agree

Yes, but only increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies

The NDP would likely agree with the idea of increasing funding for personalized care, as it aligns with their commitment to improving mental health services. However, they might not fully agree with the focus on personalized care at the expense of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies, as they also support affordable access to medication.
