Thank you for your testimony.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075785\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you to all the witnesses for your testimony. It's very beneficial to us.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075786\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ms. Shields, I want to talk to you more and give you an opportunity to elaborate more on the crisis we're facing in our health care system with respect to mental health.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075787\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I'm going to quickly quote. I read an article this afternoon on CBC, which reads:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7075788\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Rose Mary Buote says she spends her shifts saying sorry\u2014sorry a patient is so sick because a surgery was pushed back, sorry she left a patient's next of kin on hold, sorry she is stretched too thin to provide the care she wants to give. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7075789\" data-originallang=\"en\"> She feels \"so guilty\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075790\" data-originallang=\"en\">We're all aware that so many health care workers are cracking under the strain of the system. We, as a society and a community, are trying to move past the pandemic, but we have a health care and caregiving force that is exhausted and depleted. We've heard from multiple witnesses that health care workers are depleted and distressed. We are told that rates of severe burnout among health care workers have almost doubled. Recent figures show that 20% of frontline health care workers have thought about suicide and, sadly, 6% had planned an attempt.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075791\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ms. Shields, can you speak and elaborate more and in more detail about what your organization has heard from health care workers?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075792\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>",

Je vous remercie de votre t\u00e9moignage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075785\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie \u00e9galement tous les t\u00e9moins. Vos t\u00e9moignages nous sont tr\u00e8s utiles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075786\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Shields, je veux vous donner l'occasion de nous donner plus de d\u00e9tails sur la crise que traverse notre syst\u00e8me de sant\u00e9, en particulier en ce qui concerne la sant\u00e9 mentale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075787\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais vous citer rapidement l'extrait d'un article qui j'ai lu aujourd'hui sur le site de CBC:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7075788\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Rose Mary Buote dit qu'elle passe ses quarts de travail \u00e0 s'excuser. S'excuser aupr\u00e8s d'un patient tr\u00e8s malade parce que son op\u00e9ration a \u00e9t\u00e9 report\u00e9e. S'excuser d'avoir mis en attente le proche d'un patient. S'excuser d'\u00eatre trop d\u00e9bord\u00e9e pour prodiguer les soins comme elle le voudrait. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7075789\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elle se sent \u00ab tellement coupable \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075790\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes tous bien conscients que de nombreux travailleurs de la sant\u00e9 craquent sous la pression du syst\u00e8me. En tant que soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et en tant que communaut\u00e9, nous essayons de nous remettre de la pand\u00e9mie, mais le personnel de la sant\u00e9 et les proches aidants sont \u00e9puis\u00e9s et d\u00e9cim\u00e9s. De nombreux t\u00e9moins nous ont dit que les travailleurs de la sant\u00e9 sont \u00e9puis\u00e9s et en d\u00e9tresse, et que les taux d'\u00e9puisement professionnel s\u00e9v\u00e8re parmi les travailleurs de la sant\u00e9 ont presque doubl\u00e9. Selon des donn\u00e9es r\u00e9centes, 20 % des travailleurs de la sant\u00e9 de premi\u00e8re ligne ont pens\u00e9 au suicide et, 6 % ont planifi\u00e9 une tentative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075791\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Shields, pouvez-vous nous en dire davantage sur ce que votre organisation a entendu de la part des travailleurs de la sant\u00e9?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7075792\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie.</p>"
