Here's where some of the difficulty is confusing. I was diagnosed here in Ottawa. Where the confusion lies is that when you mention to any physician, “Well, I grew up in Gagetown, New Brunswick, where they sprayed Agent Orange, Agent White and Agent Purple,” they look at you with a very confused face.
Where I see the problem is that there's no recognition of illnesses from exposure, and I believe that would be nationally. Within Canada, there would be very few provincial governments that would have a list of exposures. It's basically very similar in VAC and DND, because the lists are not cohesive either, so perhaps what needs to be worked on is a cohesive list of illnesses and diseases related to exposures.
