I don't know what all the legal liabilities are, but I do know that, as civilians, military families cannot access military physicians. I suspect that once a military member is retired or released from the Canadian Forces he wouldn't be able to see a military doctor. I imagine it has to do with liabilities, etc., around accessing military physicians. I know that our military members getting out for medical reasons are all of a sudden left doctorless. So you have all these people releasing and they can't get a physician. It is a problem.
