Mr. Speaker, the federal government tries to reflect its awareness of the seriousness of this problem in its programs and its policies.
We are trying to help in a number of ways. We encourage the collection of catalogues of best practices around the country so that can be shared with communities. We encourage research and indeed, through the Medical Research Council, we invest in medical research.
We work with other legislatures to make sure that legislation reflects the need to integrate people with this affliction into the community.
I can assure the hon. member that in everything we do, we try to reflect the importance of our concern with this illness.
