I was particularly happy to see that progress. When we came back from our tour, we had a number of visits from the director of casualty support here, out of Ottawa. It became apparent, through lessons I learned from our tour and certainly from the PPCLI Battle Group before us, that the directorate of casualty support needed to branch out and now start putting detachments forward at the bases where the troops would be returning.
So I was particularly happy after our series of discussions here in Ottawa that the idea was approved and that a detachment is now stood up in Petawawa. Among other things, it gives soldiers direct access now, rather than having to travel to Ottawa to deal with situations that require the directorate of casualty support to assist them.
