Thank you, Ryan, for bringing this important issue forward.
Certainly championing the issue of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder before Parliament is to be commended. Your testifying here again today is another move forward toward resolving an extremely complex issue.
I want to take up on what Ms. Péclet was asking about, your willingness to open the field of study to different areas of mental health. You testified that as a corrections officer you were exposed to a number of inmates who had mental disorders. Of course, once they're in there, they're not always diagnosed. Certainly some of them would have fetal alcohol syndrome. Many are probably overrepresented there, but certainly other inmates have other disorders, whether it be schizophrenia or paranoia or what have you. Certainly that had to be at the heart of your motivation to widen the study: why not do something which is possibly all-encompassing for those who suffer from mental disabilities? That had to be a very large motivational factor in your decision to field this study, is it not?
