Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses. I have some hard questions for Mr. Cooper, but I'm actually going to start off with Mr. Farrant.
Mark, I want to thank you for coming today and for helping us with identifying PTSD, especially in jurors. I had a long career in the RCMP, and PTSD is a silent disease that is really hard to recognize. In fact, it's usually ignored. In policing, the belief is that you get tough, so you can handle it, but that's not true at all, actually. Even though I've seen lots of horrific things, there are a lot of people, and it affects everyone differently. Everyone is unique. To have our jurors, who we rely on—you are right—for democracy, feel afraid or suffer for years is just unacceptable.
I applaud this. I'm very happy you're here today, and I thank you for your struggles to help others who are going to go through exactly the same thing.
One of the questions I have is how you feel we are going to be able to encourage people to come forward to get the help. A lot of people are probably afraid to come forward because they're embarrassed that something at a trial bothers them.
