That's a great point. Mental health care is just one aspect of mental health. Obviously, families that are functioning well, schools that are functioning well and all those support systems are really important, too.
UNICEF does a very good job. If you look at its 2020 report card for Canada, it had about 125 different indicators. It measures some of these specific things around resiliency and how kids are doing.
I was a little shocked, actually. A quarter of children are feeling sadness or hopelessness for long periods of time. Only 50% rate their lives high on life satisfaction. A quarter of kids go to bed or school hungry, at least sometimes, because of a lack of household food. They go through all those different things.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, Dr. Ellis, resilience is more than just health care. It's the family income. It's how well you're supported at school. It's how well communities function. It's about the environment. It's complicated, obviously, but that's why I think I was trying to make sure that at least if there were mental health transfers going to the provinces, the provinces should be accountable to make sure some of that money is dedicated to child and youth services.
With that—and I agree with the current government that provinces are responsible—if they are going to get the money, I think they need to publish outcomes, wait times and how people are doing. That's a wonderful opportunity for us to compare between provinces, because provinces that are doing better—and most provinces are doing better in something than other provinces, for various reasons.... It's an opportunity to learn, to share and to scale things up.
I don't know if I have answered your question completely, but you're right. Resilience is important, and it's supported in many different ways.
