Before I ask any questions, I want to congratulate the Mental Health Commission of Canada on the excellent work you've done in eight years. In eight years you have improved outcomes in mental health more than any other thing that has ever been done in this country in the last eight years.
I was going to ask you a question about a 10-year renewal of your mandate, whether or not you knew what resources were going to be given to you, and how you were going to be able to move forward on that. You say you are currently speaking with the government, so I won't put you in the difficult position of asking you a question like that.
Again, At Home/Chez Soi and all the work you've been doing in decreasing stigma has moved things miles in the last few years. Do you do any work on bipolar disorders with groups like the Schizophrenia Society and work with people who have a pathology? If so, perhaps you can tell me what you see as the next step that one should take in dealing with not simply the hospitalization of people with pathological problems, but also the ability to look at how we can support them instead of—as we know some provinces are considering doing—going back into institutionalization, which everyone knows was not the answer. Have you done any work on that? What do you see as good recommendations with these particular groups?
The second thing I want to ask you about is the absolutely severe policy with respect to the very few people in this country who are in prison because they committed a crime of violence because of mental illness, and the whole concept that these people should be locked up and the key thrown away. Have you done any work with people who are in correctional institutions and who have a concurrent mental illness?
I wonder if you could tell me about anything you know about both of those areas and what you see as a recommendation for dealing with them, and what you see as the biggest challenges right now to moving that agenda forward.
