Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'd like to thank the witnesses for coming before us today.
My questions are for the witnesses from the Canadian Forces.
As we know, Afghanistan is an extremely stressful environment. Many returning soldiers have had the difficult experience of seeing their brothers in arms or sisters in arms suffer the loss of limb or life, or the horrific experience of seeing civilians caught in crossfire.
What percentage of soldiers who return...? First of all, I assume that all soldiers, upon their return, are screened to assess their state of mental health. If that is in fact correct, that all soldiers returning have an assessment done of their mental health, what percentage return with mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress?
