Perhaps I could clarify the issue a little from an administrative standpoint. Currently there is a program in place to help injured members reintegrate into the workplace. We make every effort to reintegrate them into the workplace as quickly as possible, whether it be in their particular field or in some other area.
We first want to ensure that the work gives them a sense of purpose. That is very important because we do not want to relegate them to minor tasks. For example, a double amputee from Edmonton is current providing support services to injured members. These are the types of things that we do.
Universality is an enduring principle when it comes to Canadian forces services. Ultimately the issue is whether these members have a future in the forces and whether they can conform to the premise of service universality. Every possible effort is made to reintegrate them into the workplace. If that is not possible, then we do everything we can to help them find a good civilian job.
