Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I thank each and every one of you for being here today.
As I said to my partner a fortnight ago, you really have to be strong to listen to the news these days. Indeed, it can be quite discouraging. We hear about horror stories. You mentioned earlier today the horrific story of Ms. Champagne, who took her own life by jumping from the 16th floor because she could not get the services she needed, including psychiatric services. There are also all these femicides, in Quebec among others, that we hear about, not to mention the news from abroad. Finally, we really need to have a strong heart. This can shake us up in our daily lives.
Ms. Todd, I thank you for your testimony. Several of us have children. We are therefore very affected by what you have told us today.
As Ms. Larouche said, we are looking for solutions here today. We are really trying to find solutions to help more and more people who are living with mental health problems.
It is also encouraging to see, in the world of sport and culture, for example, people talking openly and publicly about their anxiety and the problems they are experiencing, and using the right terminology. I think that there are some fairly positive things happening at the moment.
Mr. Akindele, I'm going to give you the opportunity to clarify a few things. I would like to know how a service such as the one you offer could have prevented what happened to Ms. Todd's daughter.
I should point out here that many of us do not follow the fast-moving technological developments very closely. I don't know if this is the case for you, but I personally find it difficult to keep up. Please explain how your software could have helped Ms. Todd in such a horrendous situation.
