Veterans Affairs committee  We have heard about veterans in the United States and Canada who are homeless and destitute. France is very little affected by this phenomenon, or has seen little of it. Still, we have never had such cases publicized. It can certainly happen, but the number of these cases is low.

Veterans Affairs committee  If I may, I would add that, with respect to this last combat generation, we have the responsibility of communicating in the way they communicate, in other words using social networks and doing better online. We are very interested in what Canada is doing on the Veterans Affairs C

Veterans Affairs committee  Not to our knowledge. There are no particular issues. The symptoms and proportions are the same. There haven't been any studies specifically on that.

Veterans Affairs committee  As for the last point about leave for the wounded, needless to say, the injured person isn't within the regiment, but at home, for instance. We protect them by paying them a salary for two years. That's the key point. Excuse me, but the first question—

Veterans Affairs committee  Local commanders have the very big responsibility of supporting injured soldiers, which may be done by rehabilitation through sports. This is an essential point for which we've created a real policy. Finally, there will always be what you mention, which is the risk of a gap betw

Veterans Affairs committee  If I may, I would add that there are soldiers with a prosthesis who are continuing to serve in military uniform within their regiment. In keeping with this esprit de corps, in early 2017, we created what we call leave for the wounded. This leave is given specifically to soldiers

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm not sure I understood the question.

Veterans Affairs committee  I would like to add that there is a network within the regiments. This basically concerns the army. They have appointed first contact people, such as senior non-commissioned officers, or people with some seniority, to identify behavioural changes in young soldiers. They are ident

Veterans Affairs committee  We are trying to establish enabling agreements with large companies to get them to hire injured soldiers. The main difficulty we are encountering is that the availability of companies doesn't strictly match the demand of wounded soldiers, particularly from a geographic perspectiv

Veterans Affairs committee  The answer is extremely variable depending on the injuries. Ultimately, we don't have a payment scale based on a category. Some injured individuals will require a much longer support period, while others will return immediately. So there aren't pre-set amounts.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, absolutely. We try to provide personalized support. After that, training may cost more depending on the needs of the individual. So, of course, all of this is managed. We can't imagine offering all the training, but we try to respond to a variety of needs.

Veterans Affairs committee  Indeed, injured soldiers don't have just the military disability pension, they will have other associated rights, which includes health care coverage that will take into account medical care and equipment. We will even fund up to 100% for next generation prostheses for individual

Veterans Affairs committee  No, no. It's a scale based on a disability rate, and the portion is not reduced based on what is proposed in terms of the care path.

Veterans Affairs committee  If I've understood correctly, you're asking whether a minister is responsible for veterans and this specific issue. Right now, we have a minister of the armed forces, and at her side is a secretary of state, who is a little lower in rank than the minister and who is responsible

Veterans Affairs committee  The answer is that, ultimately, the person isn't compensated for the injury at one time. The injured member will receive a monthly pension that will be linked to the level of disability. This person will have a military disability pension for life. If the injury worsens during th
