Certainly. Thank you, Mr. Johns.
Serving CAF members are also entitled to collect Veterans Affairs benefits. The issue is that the internal review process that CAF has in place has a chief of review services. They report incidents of wrongdoing up the chain of command. It's a very hierarchical structure, more so than the public service.
The problem would be that if the CAF member wants to report something to deal with Veterans Affairs, there's no authority for CAF to deal with issues concerning Veterans Affairs. They would also not be treated very sincerely, given the stigma with which disability is viewed within the Canadian Forces.
I think it's important that serving members be able to separate their personal lives, where they suffer disabilities, from their professional lives, where they may witness wrongdoing within the operations of CAF.
I hope that answers the question.
