Obviously, Canada is a unique country with its own jurisdictional and cultural context and milieu, so whatever we do, it's going to have to be unique to us. Even the province of Alberta has a principle of subsidiarity in the Constitution, with provinces responsible for health care for a reason. The Alberta solution might look different from others, and we see two different policies happening in B.C. and Alberta that contrast. We're happy to see that we're going to have a policy outcome for both that we can use for analysis.
We have looked at Australia. We have looked at Massachusetts. We have looked at Portugal. Happily, as Dr. Goulão mentioned, we were there recently, spending time understanding their system in-depth. Recovery is a terrific opportunity. Most recovery, when it comes to therapeutic living communities, for example, as a model, isn't instigated just by governments.
Look at the world's largest. San Patrignano in Italy started in 1978. I believe it's a 1,200-person community. It has great outcomes. I think the last study I saw from the University of Bologna had a 72% rate of success, and recidivism was relatively low there, measuring longitudinally, multiple years out.
There's a lot of good information around therapeutic living communities and around recovery as a model. Recovery capital with Dr. Best, out of Scotland, is incredibly informative, along with a number of researchers like Dr. Humphreys, whom I know you heard from here at the committee. There's a lot of good evidence internationally, both locally and increasingly more at a government state level.
