I want to get three questions out so you know where I'm going on all of them.
For Mr. Griffis, this is an opportunity for you, I think, to talk about the access to the full range of services and benefits for peacekeepers under the charter, as compared to traditional veterans. I'm wondering whether you had anything you wanted to say to the committee on that. I've just recently met with a peacekeeper and a group seeking access to a veterans' pavilion in St. John's, with the mention they were not able to get in. So I wonder about that one.
Mr. McCartney, my question for you would be this. We consider ANAVETS, the Legion, and all the groups as partners in the work with veterans, and we wonder whether there is particular support that this committee could offer as a suggestion to the government on how we can help you retool to attract newer and younger veterans into your organization.
For the occupational therapist, with the dismantling of dedicated hospitals and a few specialized care facilities--and the veterans' goal is to have local care provided by civilians on a contract basis--how do you do training in an effective way for people who may only see two OSI patients in their community and who are not in a network where others are?
