Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think you're seeing some of the differences of opinion on the committee. There's no question that the national crime prevention strategy does good work. But I would agree with Randall that there are other priorities the committee maybe should be looking at. One of them is the challenge around mental health issues, which is really one of the major contributors to the cost of policing. It's one of the major contributors to the cost of corrections.
I'm wondering, under the national crime prevention strategy, if you do any work at all in terms of the mental health and addiction problems that are really out there. I was at the mental health champions awards, I think they're called, one evening last week, and there was an individual there whose last name was Batten. He's now leading a very productive life, but he told a heart-wrenching story, when he accepted his award, of being incarcerated and spending a lot of his time in solitary confinement, until somebody took an interest in his issue and his mental health problems and addiction problems. As a result of that, he's now leading a very productive life and won one of the mental health champions awards.
So I think what that shows is that if there's the right programming out there, some of these so-called problem people can be producers in terms of society and contribute to the economy. So I'm wondering if there's anything under the NCPS.... Do you have any programming in that area at all? Or is it mostly with youth?
