Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today.
More particularly, thank you, Ms. Galt, for your testimony. I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we really heard what you said, and we really admire your courage in coming here today and sharing your story.
My question is for the representatives from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
We asked the government questions about the consultations. A number of witnesses, including those from the Canadian Psychiatric Association, told us that there have not been any consultations.
Yet the minister keeps telling us that this situation is problematic. This issue, where the recidivism rate is 38%, has become politicized to an extent.
Have there been consultations, yes or no? And could you give us the exact numbers on recidivism?
