Mr. Speaker, my colleague started his remarks by recognizing or giving the government some credit for the help it said would come for military families. I too hope that it will indeed materialize, but as a former member of the veterans affairs committee I know that we have heard time and time again of the need to do something about post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans. We have heard, of course, about the impact on families when their loved ones return from military action.
What is noticeably absent is even the indication of an acknowledgement by the government of how serious this issue is.
I would ask my colleague if he is aware of how serious this issue is, and why does the government not see fit to deal with it?
