Thank you. I appreciate that. It's come up at this committee, and it's a very real and profoundly concerning reality for all of us.
Dr. Merali, you talked about the need for a centre of excellence. I have to tell you that this is something that my party, my colleagues, have asked for over and over again.
What kind of response are you getting from VAC in regard to that proposal? I'm thinking specifically of your call for research funding. In the information you presented, and in Dr. Thirlwell's research as well, I can see the correlation there, and it is fascinating in terms of what it reveals about what more needs to be done, and it's exciting in that it suggests that there is a great deal we can do to reduce these catastrophic suicides.
