It's a very complex issue that you are raising. We have hopes that with the monies tied to mental health from the health accord, there would be a bringing together of some of the knowledge. What we're seeing now is that there are pockets of excellence in various provinces and territories, and yet Province A doesn't know what Province C is doing.
What we were hoping for with this funding is that there would be a small number of indicators that would be developed, so we could collect the same data in the same way in each of the provinces and territories. That is not happening right now. We would then be able to look at the issue across the country as a whole. It's very confusing when we talk to other countries. They say, “Well, this is a great program you're doing”, but it's hard to explain to them that it's really only happening in three or four different places.
It's one of the needs that we have at the commission. We have tried to close that gap with the work that's done in our knowledge exchange centre, and we've certainly made headway, but it's really only just the beginning. It's something that requires a much closer look and targeted efforts.
