Thank you, Mr. Chair, and through you to the witnesses, thank you for appearing today.
I think I'll start with Mr. Ferdinand and the Canadian Mental Health Association. You did mention, of course, things that weren't necessarily related to the military, especially surrounding mental health services and the finding of individuals who are qualified to assist, in that area, the men and women in uniform. I have sat on another committee where the government does provide mental health workers, in particular, in our prisons. One of the things we find, and you can verify this or not, is that there is a lack of professionals in that area who wish to work in a field where it's basically the same work every day. Not every mental health worker wants to work in a prison facility or perhaps any other. As a society, we have a shortage of people who are qualified to do those things.
Would I be correct there?
