Again, I have to bring to the attention of the standing committee the fact that constant, regular, continuous education for young people, and at the same time their parents, is very important. You wouldn't see the results overnight. It would take an entire generation, maybe, to see the results, but the work that is being done by the federal government to create awareness through mental health programs is critical. The funding has to be allocated to the educational system and community organizations and be done in a very proactive and active manner. People need to understand both that this is a problem in this country and what we need to do to change the system.
