Veterans Affairs committee  They are the specialists at the following hospitals: Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, Hôtel-Dieu de Lévis and Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal. I even went to a hospital in Ontario—I can't remember which one—and the clinic in Fall River where the Fox doctors—father and son—work. If you want still mor

Veterans Affairs committee  Merci beaucoup.

Veterans Affairs committee  There has been a huge lack of transparency. First, I would have liked to be informed of the progress with the file. As a member of Parliament, Annick Papillon has often asked Minister Blaney questions in the House and she received the same answers as I did when I asked him whethe

Veterans Affairs committee  I think the report is absolutely incomplete. My impression is that there was a goal and that the report is not neutral. The goal was to minimize the effects of radioactivity on people. I don't understand. I think the report is really incomplete, considering the case law. Canada

Veterans Affairs committee  Usually, an impartial report should contain arguments on both sides. I have seen other reports. This report only looks at the cons. There is something ironic. In his testimony, Dr. Pierre Morisset himself said that there are contradictory reports. That's great. Why are there no

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you for your question. The report uses the word “unlikely”. I for one have had four assessments, both physical and psychiatric. The four groups of specialists said that the only cause that can explain my state of health is uranium poisoning. My file is available on the Int

Veterans Affairs committee  I will be quick. When I was on the hunger strike, I was ready to die. I would have been dead in less than 12 hours and the priest came to give me the extreme unction. I was ready to go. I did it because I no longer had anything to lose, since you have taken everything from me.

Veterans Affairs committee  First, my family did not understand. Over and above what I went through for my country, my family judged me and rejected me. I was engaged to a wonderful woman for nine years. She even shared my passion for serving my country. She went to Afghanistan with the reserve. She came ba

Veterans Affairs committee  I have a number of health problems and I am well aware of them. If you have some treatment for me that will get me a better quality of life, tell me where to sign up. I am in. I want to get better. I am not the kind of person who whines for whining’s sake. I am here to get result

Veterans Affairs committee  Quickly, it is very simple. Without exactly knowing all the details because I know it is a matter of national security, I am asking that we at least get adequate care and that people stop the blanket denials. The constant denials cause veterans a lot of distress. I am just askin

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, I agree with the first conclusion, which reads: 1. Depleted uranium is potentially harmful to human health by virtue of its chemical and radiological effects.

Veterans Affairs committee  I have already replied favourably to the second conclusion. I do not agree with the third conclusion, which reads: 3. It is unlikely that Canadian soldiers have been exposed to levels of depleted uranium which could be harmful to their health. The fourth conclusion says this

Veterans Affairs committee  Point 5 talks about “larger civilian studies”. This is completely contradicted by the United Nations report that I have provided as supporting documentation. What I find troubling about point 5 is that Dr. Morisset thinks that he holds the truth in his hands. But currently, medic

Veterans Affairs committee  Okay. It says: 1. Depleted uranium (DU) is potentially harmful to human health by virtue of its chemical and radiological effects. It states that radioactivity has two kinds of effects. I agree with that. 2. Within a military setting, the highest risk of exposure to deplete

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, absolutely. Some biologists conducted an investigation on the island of East Timor. We found out that East Timor was used for the storage of chemical agents for the American army during the Vietnam war. I would like to mention something else. My level of toxicity is so hi
