Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and I too want to thank the witnesses today for their testimony. They were compelling, for sure, and heartfelt, and I think everyone's looking for some answers as we move forward. I'm certainly proud of our Armed Forces. Whenever they've been needed, they've been there, and I think it's our time and our duty to make sure that we take care of them now as well as when they are post-military.
I was very happy to see the joint suicide prevention strategy come out in 2017. According to the Department of National Defence, there were 15 suicides among armed forces members in 2018, and this number increased to 20 in 2019. I've asked for, but do not yet have, the number for 2020.
My question is this: How effective has this strategy been and how is its effectiveness being measured?
