I want to ask both of you, do you think there is anything the Canadian Armed Forces could have done prior to the deployment to help with the mitigation of any operational stress injuries or post-traumatic stress? As a former commander myself, I have a lot of experience with troops and colleagues who have experienced this. I definitely have a familiarity with where you're coming from on this.
Afterwards we also deal with...and oftentimes we have been quite successful in trying to deal with the stigma of it, so that people aren't stigmatized, so that people aren't ostracized, they aren't held out. From my own personal experience, it's been generally quite successful.
But prior to deployment, do you as parents think there's anything more the Canadian Armed Forces could have done to lay the foundation in preparing to have soldiers more aware of the potential...that this is something that could happen to them?
