Thank you, Chair. I want to quickly comment on that.
The problem I see with regard to the mental health issue is that we go beyond the realm of a criminal offence and we get into the issue of person-by-person mental health issues. When we bring those people before the courts, at some point in time as well there's a requirement for them to be checked by a physician—and sometimes, in the case of British Columbia, two physicians—who must commit that person.
Although I completely agree with Mr. Cotler and his summation, I think we're going down a road that needs to be looked at in a far different scope. To try to attach the mental addictions to drug addictions...that may be the case in some cases, but a lot of times if you can quell the drug addiction you will solve parts of the mental problem as well.
