Thank you. That would be helpful.
I know the first women veterans' forum was held in P.E.I. in 2019, which was about four years ago. “Research” was mentioned in the summary, I think, 24 times. Obviously it's an essential theme and a priority area.
I'm wondering if you could talk about what has been done on health issue-specific research for women veterans since then. There are a couple of things I'm particularly very interested in.
We know that women veterans who served in the Middle East and experienced burn pit exposures are now experiencing higher rates of breast cancer. Do we know if those rates of breast cancer are different among women who did not serve in the Middle East and experience that combat exposure? Around that, do we know if veteran women see higher rates of breast cancer compared to civilian women?
The other part is uterine prolapse or stress incontinence related to military duties. These are the issues I hear about the most. Has any research been done on this?
Since this happened in 2019, what is the direction of the department in researching these important issues specifically for women veterans?
