It has been brought to our attention on numerous occasions. They usually come at us from the forum of operational stress injuries, where the member will know that there's something not quite right and is a little reluctant to go the chain of command.
I also have to say that I think the Canadian Armed Forces over the last several years has done a tremendous job in removing that stigma. The senior levels inside this organization, I've seen them actually walk the talk. I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing.
But there still remains a small group of people who are very reluctant to come forward. I asked the question why they are reluctant to come forward. I think that, at some point in time, the malady overtakes the stigma, and you need to have help.
Why is it so difficult to come forward? If they think that they've breached universality of service, they know they're being released. Mostly the stories they hear around transition and release are not great stories. I think we can change that story. I think there are some very practical, simple solutions that we can implement that could make the transitioning from an amazing organization something that may not be palatable to the members but is acceptable to them.
I think the fear and confusion of what potentially may happen holds some people back. We are concerned about it. We do get those individual cases. We apply a lot of resources to them. We really do.
