I come at this from the private sector. One of my jobs for many years was dealing with accommodation issues for ill, disabled folks in workplaces. Of course, all employers have their own sense of what they're there to do; it's to provide efficient, productive service, etc., but that doesn't preclude their responsibility—and it's understood in this country outside of the military to be a human right—to accommodate people in their work when they have a disability or an injury of that nature.
I don't see it as an enormous stretch, in the context of the Canadian Forces. It doesn't make it a social net to say that when they return from combat and have suffered an injury or an illness, we will look after them and will have a place for them and their family for as long as they need it.
What is the problem with making a statement of that nature?
