Thank you, Chair, and my thanks to our witnesses this morning.
My team in Saint John–Rothesay serves breakfast at the men's shelter every Saturday morning. Depending on the day and the weather conditions, there are probably 30 men we serve hot breakfast to.
Out of the 30 men who are there, I would say that all 30 of them have mental health problems. The scary thing—or the challenge, if you will—is when you talk to the shelter operators at Outflow in Saint John, they're at their wit's end. They're there to provide shelter, but they're also there as counsellors, psychologists, and mental health workers, and they're overwhelmed, so one thing we're doing in Saint John is we're putting a group together with police, health care workers, levels of government, and we're going to go to the shelters and provide emergency mental health outreach as much as we can to help these people, because again, the concern is they're there, they get shelter, they have breakfast, and then they're back out on the streets, and it's just a vicious cycle.
I'm looking for your input. We're trying to put this project together. Can you give me some advice or recommendations as to how we could put that together, or how you see something like that working?
