Thank you for your question.
The report uses the word “unlikely”. I for one have had four assessments, both physical and psychiatric. The four groups of specialists said that the only cause that can explain my state of health is uranium poisoning. My file is available on the Internet. Everyone can access it. I can sign as many powers of attorney as you want. I would really like the Minister of Veterans Affairs to send a strong message about veterans. He talks about reform and about changing the department's way of doing things. That's great. So the government must comply with its own laws, give us the benefit of the doubt and take care of us.
I would like to make two recommendations. My first recommendation is to agree to take care of us, regardless of where the uranium comes from. I have never debated the origin of the uranium, whether it is Canadian or not. I don't even want to get into that. Give us the benefit of the doubt and provide us with proper care.
Here is my second recommendation. The rehabilitation program is supposed to provide care to veterans even though it is not directly linked to their pension conditions. Give us the care.
