Thank you very much.
I represent Brandon, which has Shilo in my community. I want to start by thanking you. We get great service out of the office there and the people we deal with.
I want to comment on the form. I'm not being critical of Mr. Stoffer's position, because I think we want to make it as easy and as accessible as possible. I believe the scrutiny you provide is to make sure you are providing services in an orderly fashion to the people who have most need.
One of the challenges I hear is with regard to family counselling. I have veterans and soldiers who have returned from service saying they don't have access, there's not enough of them, there's some hesitancy to deal with them in certain situations in public facilities. In small communities a lot of people know what other people's business is.
Is there a process to provide more of those family counsellors? I've had representations made to me from family counsellors who tell me they've been asked but can't provide the services because they can't get paid for them, and the veterans have to go through a process that directs them to the counsellor who is providing the service. Could you address that?
