Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
And thanks to all of you folks for coming out today. Laryssa and Cyndi, thank you for telling us your stories.
It's funny, in all the years of hearing about the various concerns of men and women of the service and their families, every time we hear you, we always hear something a little new. I thank you both for that.
My first question is for both of you. What do the two of you do for stress relief?
I've spoken to peer coordinators in Halifax and in other areas. They listen to stories all day long. And like anyone else, you're human beings. You naturally say, “Oh, my God.” What do you do for yourselves to relieve the stress? Do you have friends or family you can go to, or do you exercise?
In the old days, an OSISS centre was called the Royal Canadian Legion. We've changed that now to something.... And it has improved. I've noticed improvements in the centre. But you're absolutely right, Madam, there could be a lot more improvements. You saw Pat Stogran's report the other day. It wasn't very pleasant in terms of DVA and other things.
But Ms. Muise and Ms. Underhill, what do you folks do to alleviate the concerns for yourselves?
