Thank you, Chair.
Thank you all for coming.
Recently we did an order paper inquiry on military suicide, and we received an answer back today. As happens around here, the press gets on it rather quickly.
I looked at the answer on the last five years of military suicides, and the pattern is that there doesn't seem to be any pattern. It seems to go through all the ranks. It seems to go through all the age groups. It seems to go in theatre and out of theatre. It averages somewhere around 15 a year.
Dr. Richardson, your comment about the more difficult response from treating soldiers piqued my interest.
Have any of you made any observations with respect to military suicides—I'll start with Dr. Richardson, but I'll ask the entire panel—and is there something the statistics are not showing?
