Thank you for that.
Kathy, I have a question for you. We did a story a while ago on Gary Zwicker that was very public in the Halifax area. One of his biggest concerns, besides the operational stress injury, were his financial concerns, which added even further stress to him and his family. It's great that the OSISS centres are going and that they're going to go from Newfoundland to Victoria and in the centre, but one of the major concerns that men and women of the service have when they get out and they're 3b-released is financial issues, which compound everything else. It puts stress on the family, the children, etc. That's one question: what is the government doing to assist them on that?
The other day I asked Darragh Mogan, I believe that's his name, a question regarding a gentleman who went through OSISS and was okay. He's now fine, but his child is still having difficulties, and DVA—and I checked again today—denied the child access to a psychologist. Mr. Mogan would like to know about that, and I have forwarded that information on to the people in Halifax. But as Laryssa said very clearly, the children and the families...because as we know, PTSD can be transferred unwittingly or whatever, and now this child is left out in the cold and the veteran doesn't know what to do.
Kathy, what should I tell him? The reality is that the DVA has told him twice now, and I plan to raise it obviously with the minister and everybody else, but I was under the assumption that these OSISS centres were there to continue the help as long as it takes. Am I wrong on that? That includes not just the veteran but the family members and especially the children. We've heard all the stories in Petawawa and we know that's improving, but there are still some serious issues out there, especially when it comes to the younger children.
Thank you.
