Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start off by saying that I will be sharing my time with my colleague Mr. Kelloway.
Dr. Lalonde, thank you for joining us and thank you for the important work you do. My understanding is that you're providing support and health care support for many of our health care workers. Based on what we heard in the previous setting, there's a critical need.
We've already seen everybody spending a lot of time projecting what our COVID virus cases will be. We're all talking about how serious mental health is. Frankly, I believe the next wave is going to be much greater, and a big role for this committee is going to be to identify the gaps going forward so the government can respond.
Is there any way we can project the trajectory of mental health needs and mental health cases going forward so we can start preparing now to have the resources we're going to need?
