I listened carefully both to your presentation and to the answers you gave my colleagues. Nowadays, our young men and women are prepared before going on a mission. Why is it that we do not prepare service men and women for retirement? As my colleague asked, why do we not inform our service men and women about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
As you said earlier, there are no childcare facilities. Members of the Canadian Forces on mission abroad obviously think about their families and children back here in Canada. Why is nothing done to prepare them? Nowadays, we prepare children for starting school: we are attentive to their needs and we give them advice. Why is it that the army is incapable of doing the same? Why can it not prepare our service men and women for retirement?
