Thank you very much, Mr. Thompson, for your attendance here. I can already see something positive coming from your attendance here, just because you've given us clear direction as to where we need to start. You have to crawl before you walk, sort of thing. I'm glad you use the progressive approach.
Near the end of your testimony—I don't find anything humorous about this—you said you had same-day service. My background is policing in Ontario, and occasionally we would have someone put on a form 1. Because of my northern location, we'd occasionally send them to a local facility to be assessed. Often they would be back in the community even before we were back. So we had same-day service also. That's not a complaint; it's just the reality. And I understand the complexity.
You started by talking about the stigmatization of people with mental illnesses, not only in the community at large but in the very institutions where people with mental illnesses go for treatment, and in correctional services. Since we're charged with the specific area here of correctional services, could you suggest a program that you're aware of--perhaps from a provincial perspective, which is your background--that might not be in existence in the Correctional Service of Canada and that this committee could recommend?
