I believe so. Absolutely.
We also have a pilot project in Quebec. This project is funded by the Fondation de la recherche pédiatrique, or pediatric research foundation—formerly the Fondation des étoiles—and by the CHU Sainte‑Justine. The project is the ECHO program, an online telementoring program.
We heard today about why people feel unable to carry out screening. We heard that treatment in general already includes a mental health component. However, we know that this isn't the case. Studies show this. The reason is that professionals, who are generally equipped to deal with a number of situations, don't feel equipped to really screen for mental health issues. Like other programs in Canada, this telementoring program helps to bring our health care professionals—midwives, doctors, nurses and social workers—up to speed with the tools needed.
When people are equipped, they feel better able to carry out screening. We know that investing a bit of money in training through this pilot project will enhance our health care system with the people already on the ground. We still need to hire more people for this, or to reorganize our resources. However, we can plan certain measures by establishing guidelines for doing so.
