Thank you, Madam Chair.

The Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Canada published their joint suicide prevention strategy in 2017. According to the Department of National Defence, 15 members of the Canadian Armed Forces committed suicide in 2018, and the number increased to 20 in 2019.

How effective do you think the joint strategy is, and how can its effectiveness be measured?
