—or would be willing to go through that preparation, but some of them will do that or something similar.
I will ask two questions at the same time.
You have noted some shortcomings in our system. We have already talked about the issue of leadership. Nothing can work in this area without leadership.
Have you had an opportunity to compare Canada with its allies when it comes to mental health and the quality of our programs? We are trying to make that comparison in our study, but your comments on the issue would be very useful.
You also talked about two types of injuries—the so-called normal injuries and mental injuries—and the need to treat them equally. We agree with you. However, our mental health system is still much bigger than the military system when it comes to hospitals that are dedicated to those types of illnesses.
Have you seen any noteworthy precedents in the civil system or in other military systems where the two kinds of injuries are treated equally? Are there any we may want to try to imitate?
