Yes, those are some of the examples across the country. So we're locating them strategically in areas, and staffing them with professional psychologists and psychiatrists who really can do the job that's necessary.
The good news in this—and officials have told me this—is that we've had no trouble recruiting those professionals to do the job. This is good news because that's one of the things I think we were worried about, but they tell me we've had no trouble recruiting the professionals to do the job.
One of the concerns I had in terms of the one in Fredericton.... It's a great facility and they're very nondescript, so the stigma that's attached to any of this.... We don't mind talking about a broken leg or a broken arm, but when your spirit is broken or you're suffering from operational stress injury, as I say, we often suffer in silence and always there's a stigma attached to any sort of mental illness or addiction problem. So these are sort of walk-in clinics that are, as I say, very nondescript. You can walk in. Some of them are located on the second storey of a shopping mall, for example. So you can go in with some level of comfort and not have the embarrassment of having to walk into a clinic to seek the help you're really seeking. There shouldn't be any stigma attached to it, but unfortunately we're still living in a society where all of us, even in civilian society, suffer in silence, don't we.
So the good news is that we have staffed those professionally across the country, and in conjunction with the peer group support it's working well. Actually, it was less than a year ago that we announced the one in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and I was told by one of the people who operate the centre in Fredericton that the biggest delay in the opening there was actually getting skilled tradesmen to build the facility, to renovate the facility it's being held in, which is sort of symptomatic of what's happening in other parts of the country in terms of skilled tradesmen.
We'll have to have the Minister of Immigration in to talk about how we're dealing with that at her level. But the truth is that was really the only impediment to getting that up and running. It was only a little later than we anticipated. I think we were hoping we'd have it up and running three or four months ago, but it is open now. And it's the same across the country. We're expecting all those that we've announced. The doubling will be completed in early 2009.
