Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too want to express my appreciation for your being here, and frankly, for the courage of the individuals who have experienced it to tell us their story. It's very significant and it's a model that I admire.
I spent quite a bit of my life working with mentally challenged individuals, and certainly mental illness that comes into a person's life at a certain point is similar to when individuals deal with those challenges throughout their lives. I really commend you on the model of using peer counselling and peer intervention.
We have a very expansive country, and I'm just wondering, as individuals come back and they reconnect with their families, is geography at all a problem in reaching some of these individuals and providing services?
