No, I think it's a federal responsibility since they are federal employees. Coming back to the covenant, if there were such a thing as the army of Alberta, then perhaps that would be their problem. In this case, it's a federal jurisdiction, and the sad thing is that we seem to be off-loading it to the provinces. If they were able to do it, that would be fine, but they're not, because they're all in financial crisis for various reasons, Alberta notwithstanding, including the way that money has been spent and allocated and the fact that their priorities have changed over the years.
I like to cite the example of how Ralph Klein, when he was premier, closed more hospitals in Alberta, a growing province, than he opened, including psychiatric care facilities. They closed the mental hospitals and turned people out onto the streets. Guess what? We have an issue with mental health in the streets in Calgary. Now social agencies are having to build huge hostels—there are three of them now—downtown that are taking care of people who probably should be in psychiatric facilities.
In her case, there was a two-month waiting list to get into that facility. We had some hope, but somebody dropped the ball. That's not uncommon. Again with workloads and beds....
And it's not only that. They don't have the expertise. They don't have the frame of reference for PTSD issues. In her case—and we still contend that it was service-related because of things that happened in service—it was quite a different case, but that aside, there's no frame of reference for them. Our own family doctor didn't know about this stuff and said we had to go find somebody who knew more about it.
