Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Petit, for coming out, and also certainly for all you're doing now. Of course you were active in the Canadian Forces, but you are now also helping veterans and helping young people as well, guiding them through their lives.
A group has started up in one of the first nations around me, and it's actually very good; it's just what you're saying. It's encouraging a number of young people and giving them discipline and purpose. It's keeping them away from the gangs and giving them a focus on what they can do with their lives.
This is about health care, so I want to go back to what you were talking about in terms of communication. We have continually heard the same thing with regard to veterans: how do we get people to ask for help when it comes to health care services, and how do we make those services available in terms of them knowing and understanding that it's there?
And you're absolutely right, in some cases it's literacy, in some cases it's pride. They don't want to admit that they have a health issue or that they need help to stay in their homes. We all agree on how important it is to stay in your home as long as you can, and certainly within your community as long as you can.
My understanding is that Veterans Affairs also has an aboriginal outreach officer. Do you know about that?
