Thank you, Minister, for coming today. It's definitely appreciated.
I have a couple of questions. The first pertains to your mandate letter. Last month I did a night shift ride with the police in my riding. One thing I realized over the course of the night was that one in three calls for 911 in the local area dealt mainly with mental illness. I see in your mandate letter that you are seized with doing something about the problem that we have with mental illness, specifically with respect to our justice system. I wonder if you could shed some light on what kind of initiatives the Department of Justice will be taking in that respect.
