Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Colonel Mann, for being here today.
A couple of weeks ago, I had an opportunity to go to a Veterans Voices event in Sylvan Lake. I had a chance to listen to Master Corporal Paul Franklin, who you are no doubt aware of. Of course, he had a chance to explain to those veterans who were there, and also to the public, some of the types of situations that he and his comrades found themselves in. He went through the process, the few days before the event that had taken some lives, and how the team was working together.
When he came back, he went through the rehabilitation that was required. He talked about the issues that he and others had with regard to different types of addictions that they were afraid would affect them. He talked about their concerns about rehabilitation, of course, and also about the community involvement and this major adjustment that he had to get over.
I just wonder if you can look at some of these and tell us a little bit about the kinds of stories that people such as Master Corporal Franklin have been able to use, to go back to those who have been injured in the more recent past, in order to try to see how they're able to adjust a little more easily.
