I'm not sure if the committee is familiar with employment limitations. When medical practitioners provide the leadership and the decision-makers for people's careers with information to help guide that decision-making process, no diagnosis is necessarily shared. No medical information is shared, but employment limitations are shared with the chain of command. The employment limitations normally are very clear, non-medical articulation of what the individual can and cannot do in the military. Of course, medical doctors write these things, and of course these doctors are people who are familiar with the medical company, the organization.
One case comes to mind. Several years ago we were reviewing the file of an armoured master corporal in Petawawa. The head of casualty support management and I are with the unit that releases military members, that has the authority to say, “We need to release the person, or do we have the authority to retain him? Yes, we do, but we're not sure what to do with the person.” The employment limitation in this master corporal's file was, as I recall, word for word, “can no longer serve in the armour core”. That was it. That was the employment limitation written in black and white by a medical doctor who is in uniform. To me, it clearly opens up the potential for suitability testing for another trade. Despite these very clear limitations, the occupational transfer was denied and the person was kicked out of the military.
For a case that is as clear as that, and they are not all like that, mind you, but when they are clear, these are the soldiers who should be given an opportunity.
