Thank you, Chair.
General Millar, I heard you describe the services available to family. I know we have an extensive network across the country for that, but I'm somewhat incredulous in that we talked about our going to Petawawa, when one couple I met—we only had a very short time with individuals who came forward—the spouse of the serving member, a woman whose husband had PTSD, complained that it took her four years to get counselling for herself to understand her husband's PTSD, what it was, what it was doing. They almost didn't make it as a couple, she said. They both complained about this.
How is that adequate when we talk about how the vet families are the bedrock? I understand all that, and I know you folks are doing a lot of work, but how can it be that some woman said she'd asked many times; it took her four years to get counselling?
