I might just start the ball rolling as far as a reply is concerned.
I have the honour of sitting on the Minister of Veterans Affairs' advisory panel for mental health, and part of his mandate letter was to create a centre of excellence, one focusing on mental health, and also to address suicide within the veteran and military population.
I think we have to realize that there's no one, simple, quick fix. There's no one, simple, quick answer. When we're talking about early diagnosis and early treatment, I have a real particular feeling that we've got to remember the children of the veterans who are going through these issues because we're looking at mental health issues coming down the pipe in 15 to 20 years, if not sooner, so there are a lot of issues that have to be addressed.
When I look at a centre of excellence centred on mental health and addictions, the first question we ask ourselves is this. Is it a brick and mortar research academic institution or a service delivery institution? We now realize that it's got to be a hub and spoke model. It's got to be a centre where a veteran can go into a wellness or a treatment program with other veterans so they're not sitting there with folks who have never been in service because they don't relate to them. They can't open up and talk because somebody's dealing with other issues that don't centre around PTSD issues.
Realize that there's not one answer—I don't want to take up too much time—but it's going to be a whole plethora of different services that are all tied in together and that are all working together to address a wide array of issues.
