Thank you, Madam Chair.
First, I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today, particularly the RCMP and the Army for all the work they do. Your presence is invaluable to the committee. I would also like to say special thanks to Ms. Smith, because I know this is not necessarily easy for her.
Since the committee began sitting, we have talked a lot about prevention. I think that is really the key word, when a post-traumatic or psychological problem arises. Obviously, first, there is a shortage of funds and resources, particularly in the RCMP. We may not be giving you all the resources that you need, to be able to put into practice ideas that you consider to be fundamental, or all the resources that might be useful for you.
On that point, I would like to hear Mr. Tousignant—and also, congratulations on your new appointment. Concerning the answer Mr. Brown gave our chair earlier, I would like to know your opinion.
