It is certainly true that there are problems that affect the entire population. However, in the case of the military, we know that after the experiences they've been through, these risks are even higher and this may be a problem. In fact, a case comes to mind I heard of at the Valcartier base in which a young man was unable to access the necessary resources, and unfortunately committed suicide. I have to wonder at which point we're going to start investing in resources, specifically mental health care for veterans? We just visited Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Hospital and we could see that there was a waiting list for people who needed mental health care. I think that that would be a very useful investment.
