I think it's the exact things that are targeted by this bill, actually: the public awareness about suicide, and not just depression and mental illness but also suicide, as well as providing this federal framework. I think it's so needed. There is great work done by people with organizations like this, and volunteers, and other types of organizations throughout the country, but if you don't have a federal framework, you don't have people relaying those best practices and stories so that everyone can benefit from them. And it's not just that we have a really great situation in this province, or in this community; a terrible one would also really benefit from the knowledge of what's going on there.
So that, from my understanding of it, would be the best role the federal government could play.
