Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to our witnesses today.
Dr. Descôteaux, I'd like to pursue your very interesting and almost startling information about incentives.
This is no disrespect to military personnel who feel they are ill, but if our policies somewhat skew the system, we are in fact using resources that should go to those who need to pursue the benefits route, and we're using other resources for those who pursue getting better. We have to better differentiate that, because the goals are different.
If your resources and your team resources are mixed, and at the intersection of your service the two are colliding, we're not really serving either of the two streams of personnel in the best possible way. Sometimes the best-intentioned policies have an unintended consequence.
I'd like to underline for our researcher that this is an important area for our committee. Thank you for raising it.
In respect to those two streams, do you have any suggestions on how it can be better done? Is it a matter of reverting to the old way of doing it, distinguishing between those who can get better and those who say they give up getting better and want to go the benefits route? Are there some solutions you can offer?
