Consequently, virtually every family in this country will be directly impacted by mental illness. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275483\" data-originallang=\"en\">Support for mental health is especially pertinent during this economic crisis as Canadian families struggle to pay the bills and cope with job losses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275484\" data-originallang=\"en\">For far too long, stigma has kept mental health issues off the public agenda. Canada needs a system that puts people living with mental illness at its centre, with a clear focus on their ability to recover.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275485\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Mental Health Commission has a mandate to ensure that mental health issues stay out of the shadows forever and to reduce the stigma of mental illness. We have to do our part too.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1275481\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, au moment o\u00f9 la Commission de la sant\u00e9 mentale du Canada tient une table ronde r\u00e9gionale \u00e0 Ottawa aujourd'hui pour donner aux intervenants de la r\u00e9gion la possibilit\u00e9 de r\u00e9agir \u00e0 son \u00e9bauche intitul\u00e9e \u00ab Vers le r\u00e9tablissement et le bien-\u00eatre\u2014Cadre pour une strat\u00e9gie en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 mentale au Canada \u00bb, je rappelle \u00e0 la Chambre qu'il est impossible d'\u00eatre en bonne sant\u00e9 sans \u00eatre en bonne sant\u00e9 mentale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275482\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Chaque ann\u00e9e, un Canadien sur cinq conna\u00eetra un probl\u00e8me de sant\u00e9 mentale. Par cons\u00e9quent, la quasi-totalit\u00e9 des familles de ce pays sera directement affect\u00e9e par l'impact d'une maladie mentale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275483\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est particuli\u00e8rement pertinent de soutenir la sant\u00e9 mentale pendant la crise \u00e9conomique actuelle, en cette p\u00e9riode o\u00f9 les familles canadiennes ont du mal \u00e0 payer les factures et \u00e0 faire face aux pertes d'emploi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275484\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pendant trop longtemps, les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s ont tenu les questions de sant\u00e9 mentale \u00e0 l'\u00e9cart de la politique publique. Le Canada a besoin d'avoir un syst\u00e8me qui soit ax\u00e9 sur les gens atteints d'une maladie mentale et sur leur capacit\u00e9 de se r\u00e9tablir. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1275485\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Commission de la sant\u00e9 mentale a comme mandat de veiller \u00e0 ce que les questions de sant\u00e9 mentale sortent \u00e0 jamais de l'ombre et \u00e0 dissiper les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s concernant les maladies mentales. Nous devons aussi faire notre part.</p>"
