The quote is from Dr. Jitender Sareen, a colleague of mine, and I believe the quote is accurate.
If you want to close that gap, and I believe we absolutely must, one of the critical things the government needs to do is invest in an institute like the Canadian institute for public safety research and treatment so that we can have a pan-Canadian, interdisciplinary, interuniversity expert team that collaborates with public safety leaders and public safety members to give you the best data possible, as fast as possible, so that we can close that gap, build better treatment options for you, and resolve some of even the basic questions, such as giving you an epidemiological set of stats that you can rely on to know how large the operational stress injury problems are. We can't even give you that basic data, at this point, in a robust fashion.
So yes, I would say 15 years is probably accurate. I would say the best thing you can do at this point is invest in a team research response. That's what will get you the fastest, best data at this point. If you invest in individual silos, you'll get the data, absolutely. But we can do better when the government helps us to work together across Canada as a team.
