In mental health, unfortunately, economic analysis arrived on the scene very late. In the last three decades, there has been some economic analysis in other areas of health, but our area is lagging behind, both in Canada and around the world. At the start of this year, the Mental Health Commission of Canada published a report on the effect greater investment might have in some areas of promotion, but that focuses on the workplace. The committee might find it interesting to look at that report from the commission.
As for soldiers and veterans, I do not know whether there are any studies that provide figures on the economic aspect and the personal impact.
