The former ombudsman, and of course this committee, has been seized with the whole issue of the treatment of ill and injured soldiers within the military, and by Veterans Affairs as well. In his last remarks as ombudsman to the Senate defence committee, your predecessor indicated some concern that members have to fight Veterans Affairs to prove that their health issues are service-related. They don't get the benefit of the doubt. The concern expressed was that Veterans Affairs and DND have different criteria in assessing disabilities. It appears stricter on the Veterans Affairs side than on the military side.
I wonder, sir, as someone who was in the Veterans Ombudsman's office for...what was it?
