If we're into problem solving here, I think a better solution is to create a more streamlined transition between Canadian Forces health services and Veterans Affairs Canada for the services that can be provided. Right now it is not that streamlined.
Canadian Forces health services have lots of clinical resources that they can implement at any given time.
Take my own case for PTSD. I had the best care available in Canada at a mental health clinic in Victoria, B.C. Transferring over to VAC now, they have to contract for everything, so what are the chances that the quality of the therapy that I would receive is adequate? They'd like to think it is, but in reality, it just might not be.
You said you were concerned about the family. My family was entitled to some care through health services while I was being seen for PTSD, but now that I am through to VAC, it is a different set of rules. They also have accepted and registered therapists who can be accessed. If my family was already in therapy with me through health services and I transfer over to VAC there's a good chance I can no longer use the therapist I've been using for my family for two years. Imagine the stress of that if all of a sudden you have to start over.
