Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to our witnesses.
Thank you, Dr. Kirby, for your outstanding work. In working closely with the Canadian Mental Association in my riding, as Glenn has alluded to, and the great work they're doing across the country and in the business community...the model after the Calgary strategy, which our own community is embarking on. It takes all levels of government, the community, the taxpayers--and the business community is a big component of that--to have a successful plan moving forward.
I just want to comment on an aspect of progress and change. In my own personal experience, my oldest daughter is going to be 24 this year and she has gone through a borderline personality disorder and had a breakdown after two years of university. I have had the opportunity to work with professionals. There are many out there in the community, and I appreciate their dedication.
My question to you is this. As far as your commission is concerned, what do you see as the definition for mental health illness, and what percentage of Canadians are affected by that?
