I welcome the witnesses. My first question is for Mr. Farrelly. I commend him and the commission on their work. I read the 2018 and 2019 reports in advance of the meeting. They make for very sober reading. Mr. Farrelly stated in a press release that accompanied the publication of the report on 2 July that too many residents in acute psychiatric settings or acute services in mental health settings are still being treated like second-class citizens.
