Thank you very much, Chair.
Minister, thank you for taking the time to come to speak with us today. I appreciate your comments thus far. I can tell you, from representing a community with a military presence, CFB Kingston, there are a lot of good discussions going on about the new defence policy review. Members of the community are excited to see how it will roll out.
One specific topic I want to discuss with you is the fact that post-traumatic stress disorder is becoming more and more common—at least the willingness in the military to discuss it. It's obviously something that has affected our military personnel forever, I guess you could say. The increasing discussion of it now and people's willingness to to talk about their particular struggles is making post-traumatic stress disorder a more and more predominant topic in the overall discussions of the health of our men and women in uniform.
Can you elaborate on some of the initiatives that will help focus specifically on those who are suffering from PTSD?
