That is it. We need to see more of that.

My last question goes back to the integrated service, which some of the witnesses spoke about earlier, and how even when you have some of the parts – mental health and other services – because of the deficiency in service which are not necessarily there, therefore anyone operating in the system is doing this with baling twine. Does anyone want to talk about those difficulties more and from the perspective of what we can do to rectify that other than the obvious things of resources and getting everyone talking to each other?
