Today, we held our first official meeting as a research consortium for francophone veterans. This is really an initiative that I'm championing as co-chair of the Advisory Council for Veterans at the Centre of Excellence. This is a very important element that I brought in when I joined the team. I made the point that we have to represent francophones, research in French.
I did study at the University of Ottawa, but I do my research in French and Quebec veterans are the population I study. This effort is gaining momentum. I believe Dr. Zacharias said that this new consortium had received funding. It's taking shape and will include veterans as partners in the research.
