It comprises seven Canadian Forces veterans, all of whom have reported disabilities of over 80%, and they may be physical, psychological, or both. They have a lot of experience dealing with Veterans Affairs and disability. None of them are particularly shy about letting their views be known. They have released four reports to us that are very insightful and helpful. As a result of a lot of the reports we get from them, we adjust how we operate within our current authority to be a lot more sensitive to the kinds of things they need.
The new Veterans Charter advisory group is made up of practitioners, academics in the areas of disability management and psychiatry, veterans organizations, and practitioners in physical and psychological injuries.
