I can begin. Thank you for your question.
I’ll try to go in order, based on what your first questions were.
You mentioned your concern about the epidemiology and the causative factors. In terms of the research we have on PTSD, at least, it has been pretty well identified in terms of the cause. I agree with you in terms of prevention or at least minimization of symptoms. It is extremely important. That’s what makes PTSD so complicated.
Our Canadian Forces, by virtue of the kind of work they do and the kinds of deployments they are undertaking, are exposed to trauma. It’s part of their functions and duties. That’s why the work the Canadian Forces is doing in terms of pre-deployment screening and pre-deployment education and post-deployment screening when they come back post-deployment, which occurs either at the three-month period or at the six-month period to pick up on signs in terms of reducing the impact of the trauma, is so important.
