I don't mean to interrupt; it's just that our time is short.
We have constituency offices, and a lot of people who come to see us are going through hard times—and some have permanent hard times. It depends on what they're there for. We try to channel them in the right direction, but in fact it's not necessarily towards the traditional health institutions. The local Quebec MPs--we have CLSCs—will refer them to a CLSC, and sometimes there is a follow-up, but there just don't seem to be enough resources. Sometimes we'll get good success, but there doesn't seem to be the 100% hit rate. I'm not even sure what the hit rate is.
The other part of the question is about funding. I think you spoke about it in terms of proper programs from the government point of view. What I've been seeing is that businesses have been taking responsibility for certain items. When we were in Victoria last year with the finance committee, the chamber of commerce from Victoria got together with the homeless, and there seemed to be an initiative so that they were going to work on it together. When we got to Halifax, it was still the social workers versus the chamber of commerce. There wasn't that linkage. I'm wondering what your perspective is. Is there some collaborative work being done? Mental health is an issue in the workplace. And let's face it--a lot of times employers, rather than dealing with the issue, will try to find a way to get rid of this guy or this woman so that they don't have to deal with the person.
