Veterans Affairs committee  The film is coming out at the end of September.

Veterans Affairs committee  Well done to all of you. Thank you very much.

Veterans Affairs committee  It would really be something if we couldn't send troops overseas because we don't have the medical capabilities to take care of them. It would be an enormous irresponsibility. We are having enormous problems trying to acquire and keep that capability. The traumatic stress dimen

Veterans Affairs committee  I think that going into the area and seeing how they're set up, how they live, the rhythm of work, and the nature of the dilemmas and decisions they have to take on a daily basis.... It doesn't necessarily mean going on patrol with them, although for some missions you could do th

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, back when—

Veterans Affairs committee  Mr. Gaudet, there aren't civilian doctors. In Quebec, barely 30% of the needs are being met.

Veterans Affairs committee  My father has a cottage there. To come back to your comment, it's not that the men aren't trained. The men I sent to Yugoslavia, among others, were trained. They knew how to use their equipment. Nevertheless, generally, we didn't have enough equipment to do the job. Furthermore,

Veterans Affairs committee  I wish I could say that it's now resolved, but it's not, as I indicated earlier on the culture. Those who are the buddies are ex-military, so that link is there. Those who are still serving are going so flat out that they just don't have four hours to sit with a buddy and do it.

Veterans Affairs committee  No, I learned that lesson in 1997, when I went public to change things. First of all, if I may just clarify, it is not the charter that has failings; it is the apprenticeship of implementing it. So it's the process of implementing, and it's whether or not the cash is going to th
