We have challenges to work with in improving the system. We're not going to sit here and say we don't have challenges and everything is great. As to mental health, there are a series of things we're concerned with. We're sharing best practices with specialized agencies and the community. There's a component of our mental health strategy that has not been funded. We've been funding it internally. We are trying to secure permanent funding after March 2010 for our community mental health initiative. This has to do with intermediate mental health care, which is necessary when somebody is suffering from mental health issues that are not acute but require support. We want to be able to create supportive units that will provide immediate care to these people. This is not funded, and we'd like secure funding for it. We also need to improve our capacity to diagnose, in the interest of gaining a better understanding of the prevalence of mental health disorders.
Moreover, we are limited by a severe shortage of equipment and mental health staff such as psychologists and nurses. It's a major issue for us in some parts of the country, particularly in areas such as Grande Cache, Alberta, and Port-Cartier, Quebec.
