Thank you so much, Chair.
My first question is for Dr. Fairbrother.
You spoke about the apprehension of children potentially resulting in greater levels of depression in mothers. One of the things we're still dealing with in Manitoba, for example, to build on what Madam Larouche spoke about, is birth alerts, particularly for parents who have histories with child welfare; if there are concerns, their files are opened immediately, even before anything happens. We still have kids being apprehended from hospitals without allowing the parents the chance to be able to parent.
Can you speak to this? We know, as the research is very clear, that among women whose children are apprehended, there's a drastic decline in mental health, and it becomes harder for them to parent in terms of consequences of mental health issues like addiction or trauma.
