I think the Prime Minister's announcement on the Mental Health Commission of Canada is a signal announcement. It means we are finally going to be able to work with our provincial and territorial counterparts on a pan-Canadian strategy to tackle mental health. Mike Kirby's report, Out of the Shadows At Last, was obviously the genesis for this. It illustrates that Canadians generally have turned the corner on this file. They want to see action. They want to reduce the stigma. They want to elaborate on knowledge exchange and get right into the workplace on this issue.
This commission already has eight advisory committees that will assist the commission in its work. They'll focus on such things as aboriginals, seniors, children, and youth. The workplace, for instance, is going to be a huge focus. If I can say, parenthetically, the federal government also needs to take some leadership in this area. We have carriage over certain first nations and Inuit issues, we have the Canadian Forces, we have penitentiaries and prisons, and a huge number of people are employed by us in the public service. Each of these areas could benefit from some focused activity on mental health, and certainly that's my aspiration.
