We should have regular discussions with Veterans Affairs. I don't know about the military, but unfortunately at the RCMP we had difficulty. Of course, the RCMP was a small player, at 17,000 members; the military was at 60,000.
Sometimes we'd wonder, why did they refuse that? But funnily enough, they were doctors from Veterans Affairs. I think we should have been speaking together.
Elsewhere, if I'm talking about Quebec and Ontario, we have committees of people who work at different levels--at the pension level, at the treatment level. We have committees on post-traumatic stress disorder, looking at the best treatment and how we should do this.
I did leave the force on September 1, 2006, but I must agree with you that this was very difficult.
