In 2000 there was what they called Rx2000. It was a study that was done in order to overhaul the medical system in the Canadian Forces. This initiative in 2000 coupled with Statistics Canada's survey in 2002 pegged the ideal number of mental health care providers to be 447. That was in 2000 and 2002. When they identified that number, they did not take into account Afghanistan, as it was prior to Afghanistan.
In 2005 the department, the Canadian Forces, agreed to increase the number of people in the mental health organization from 228 to 447, and the money was set aside to do that. They never reached 447. In 2010, it flatlined at 378. This is what we're saying: 378 out of 447 represents a shortage of 22%. What's more alarming here, probably, is that this number is based on the number of 447 which was identified prior to Afghanistan. We imagine that after Afghanistan the requirement might be even greater, and therefore this 22% shortage might be greater, but obviously, we don't have the statistics now. Statistics Canada is doing this survey in collaboration with the Canadian Forces every 10 years. They did that in 2002. They started the next one in 2012, and the result of that study will be published sometime this year. We would be interested to see, at that time, if they've identified different requirements for mental health service providers.
