But again, thank you for your work.
Two words have come out today that I think are important. One is “stigma”, and the other, for me, is “hope”. I'm so glad that has been highlighted already.
The #308conversations campaign has certainly provided a venue for many of our community personnel who are working in suicide prevention initiatives and mental health fields, and for people who have actually experienced suicide in their families to come and talk. In my area, four members of Parliament came together and hosted one of these conversations. We had roughly 100 people there for an all-morning event. It was certainly important. The personal one-on-one conversations, the social media, the activity around that, and the print and broadcast media all helped to highlight and in that way remove a lot of the stigma that's evident. We had front-line workers, volunteers, hockey and baseball coaches, school board personnel in terms of training for teachers and so on—all were important. We finished the afternoon with a safeTALK model. We actually received personal training in that.
I have two questions relating to #308conversations. First, I think originally you were hoping to have it from May to August 2014. You extended it to May 2015. At this point, do you have a number on how many members of Parliament actually did participate in that initiative?
