Dr. Mildon.

President, Canadian Nurses Association

Dr. Barbara Mildon

I would agree with my colleague, and I would add that CNA has a specialty group of corrections nurses. We'd be happy to provide further information to follow up on this.

I also want to make the point that we have issues with our corrections facilities with people who need mental health care. Sometimes nurses are grappling with trying to provide the mental health care in those settings when they need different settings.

The Chair Conservative Ben Lobb

Thank you very much.

I'd like to thank all the panellists who took the time this morning to participate.

If any other thoughts came out of the discussion and you didn't have a chance to express in your initial statements, you can send a memo to either the clerk or the analyst to round out what we've discussed today.

Again, thank you. All the members of Parliament here had a chance to ask questions, and we got into a good discussion.

We're going to suspend for a couple of minutes. I'll ask our guests to leave, and then we'll get into our committee business.
