Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank both offices for the incredible work they do on behalf of those who are serving and those who have served, holding up their values and standing up for their rights and the sacrifices they made for Canada.
I'm struggling with one thing you said, Mr. Lick. You talked about this being a process problem, not a people problem, yet you said that there's an ethical issue with the defence medical team attributing what benefits they have for injury from service. It's ethical for the defence medical team to determine that injury. It's ethical for the defence medical team to say that you don't meet the universality of services. It's ethical for the defence medical team to say that you're going to be discharged and will be leaving the service and transfer you over to VAC. Then how the hell is it not ethical to also say that injury gets this benefit from Veterans Affairs Canada? Where is the process problem?
