Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First, thank you for your presentation, Col Blais.
Last week, we heard that, in Afghanistan, our soldiers unfortunately had no access to psychological assistance services in French when they were there. They had to depend on services provided by the Americans. Of course, the situation is different back in Canada when troops are not deployed. Be that as it may, I believe that we must make sure that psychological services are available in the soldiers' mother tongue. I am specifically thinking about places like Petawawa and Gagetown, where it is more difficult.
Could you tell me what steps are being taken to make sure that francophones, mainly— given that they are generally the ones dealing with this problem—have access to psychological assistance services in their own language, at least on Canadian soil?
