The member will receive a package dealing with his discharge. In that package there will be a number of provisions or options for the member, both under insurance and under health care. In a normal discharge, if the member is in possession of any Veterans Affairs disability pension, he or she would take that with them. What most members do is to elect to enter into the public service health care program as a supplement program to provincial health care. That's what most of us do. In my province it's MSI, so I'll make an application for an MSI card within three months of my departure. That will allow me to enrol into provincial health care at home.
On December 2nd, 2010. See this statement in context.
