Reservists coming back will have a screening by us, the supporting base, but they go back to their downtown area very quickly. I recommend we don't let them go back downtown, that they stay with us and work for another year, so we can have them close by. They're getting paid and we're there, we can support them. We can screen them better. They stay in a group. They can vent with people, not be somewhere where nobody understands what's going on with them.
That's our first recommendation. The second one is that if they're sick, they should come back to let's say Valcartier, to be assessed. That's what they should be doing. We assess them. We give the diagnosis and then we set up care near their home. But unfortunately, the way it's working out with VAC—that's another thing—is that sometimes they will not come back to us. They're still reservists, but they will go downtown. They will get a phony diagnosis, an incorrect diagnosis made by someone downtown who is not used to this.
Let's say they get an incorrect diagnosis of PTSD and not the proper care for what they have, which is really an adjustment disorder with a personality disorder. Then we're stuck in a bit of a fight with the patient. Patients come back to us and say they should have a medical release because of the diagnosis they were given downtown, and here's what we should be doing. We get into a fight.
It's not well set up. They should come back to us. They should not be allowed to go on pension yet. We give the diagnosis. We treat them as best we can and then we set up their care downtown and VAC takes over. That's another point where we have problems with reservists.
The other thing with reservists is it's not clear, to me anyway—
