Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
Mr. Sauvé, I'd like to explore something because, in not atypical fashion, the large majority of the witnesses who appear before the committees, all committees of Parliament, inevitably want more money. As you can probably appreciate, the financial situation of the federal government today is pretty dire to begin with, let alone huge new expenditures for every organization that comes before this committee.
I think in a lot of cases there needs to be a hard look at the structure of how services are provided today in the country. Certainly health care is in need of that.
Do you have any thoughts on the structure of the policing services in the country today? Do we have too many incidents when police are attending when maybe, as an example, a family counsellor or something...? I'm thinking of domestic abuse situations.
Are there ways that we could look at solving some of these worker shortage problems other than money?
