Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for coming back and helping us wrap up our study on the care of the ill and injured, and helping us fill in some of the holes on the report that we're putting together.
Ms. Rigg, when you were here last time, we talked briefly about the shortfall in trying to meet that goal. Two numbers were floating around. One is 447 mental health professionals, another one is 452.
What were the challenges in trying to find those people? There seems to have been a bit of a wait in trying to meet that number and reaching that goal. Can you just fill us in why it's taken as long as it has?
