Thank you.
I appreciated your testimony and presentation.
Your presentation dealt generally with aging throughout the Canadian population. Has there been work focused on veterans, and were there any differences found in the research that came out of those studies?
Our brief from the researcher mentions a 2002 study focusing on the mental health of Canadian soldiers. Some say as many as 25% of our veterans, mainly those who have recently been in difficult situations, are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. I'm wondering if any work has been conducted in that field and if any effort is being put into that problem. What partnerships does the Public Health Agency of Canada have with Veterans Affairs, and what ongoing or past work have you done that could help inform our committee's work?
