Veterans Affairs committee  I guess I'm asking two questions. What is the screening process, and in terms of awareness—and both of you have spoken about awareness—how do we do that so that we're making people more aware that, when they're talking to veterans, these are the important questions to ask?

Veterans Affairs committee  Just quickly, I'm a member of Parliament who represents a more rural and remote community. One of the challenges for the many veterans who come to our region is being able to access cannabis in the way they're hoping to. Dr. Waisglass, with your multiple clinics across the count

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. That's all.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. I believe that's my time.

When you look at the reality of being diagnosed in those communities, getting the medication that you need, all of these things have multiple barriers

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Dr. Hurd, do you have anything to add?
