Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With respect to avoidance of medical care and so on, I can tell you that as pilots we generally tended to avoid flight surgeons too, but I think Captain Courchesne knows that.
I want to talk about the study that was brought up. It was actually called the Douglas study. It was just released, but it was actually done in 2002. Of the 81,000 regular and reserve force members at the time, 8,000 were surveyed. Of that number, 1,220 had symptoms of one or more mental disorders, and of that number, four out of six had not sought help. So the real number is about 800 out of 8,000 who were surveyed. For a lot of those folks, obviously it's not Afghanistan-related; it's probably related more to experiences in Bosnia and Somalia, and in other branches.
With all the things that have gone on to ramp up the availability of services and education, to remove the stigma, to bring knowledge and awareness, and all those things that we know the CF has worked very hard on, Captain Courchesne, in what direction do you think that reluctance to seek assistance is going? Are people becoming more reluctant or less reluctant?
