I'd like to thank you both for your presentations, which were extremely comprehensive.
I guess the reason we're doing this study is we have learned we have this incredible population who are suffering from this illness who are needing support and help. It's 1.5% of the female population, some 525,000, I think is the figure both of you mentioned.
I guess there are positive outcomes here in the sense that obviously you have worked very hard in Calgary for 14 years, and Dr. Katzman for 28 years in Canada and in Toronto, on crafting effective programs. We're hearing a success rate of 75%.
My question, being a sociologist, is how can.... You have obviously worked very hard and very long on crafting the programs you have crafted within the provincial health care systems you work within. As you know, in Canada the health care delivery system is actually provincial. Can you share with us how you're able to craft your programs, and how is it that other provinces, cities, or jurisdictions can therefore craft theirs for as high as a 75% success rate such as yours?
Perhaps we'll start with Dr. Katzman this time.
