We have increased the numbers since the last time we were here. To your point about the opiate deaths, we now know from a recent statistic that 31% of hospitalizations from opiate overdoses are actually incidents of self-harm. Your point is very well taken and very accurate.
We believe this is a modest request but it would allow us to do a research demonstration project. We don't want to keep researching this forever. This would allow us to take action and will save lives while we are researching it. After that, we would be looking at scaling up when we have evidence.
To the earlier point, whether we have data yet to show that we can have the same, or better, statistics in Canada as elsewhere, we don't know, but we believe that to be true. You may be aware of our last project, At Home/Chez Soi, which was a $110-million project over five years. The outcomes we were able to demonstrate through that research were significant, and it has now impacted public policy provincially and federally.
We do believe that would serve us well. However, if we were given more, we would certainly make good use of it.
