Yes, by that I'm referring to actually pooling the experience and the resources within centres, from Montreal to Toronto to all over the country. There's a lot of strength in numbers, and if there's a way of actually bringing together evidence, data, in a secure way and having this used to develop the larger knowledge pool.... There are countries with much larger numbers, but for the population here, if we can pool all of that together in such a way that we have confidential material available, where veterans can seek evidence-based information relevant to them, where veterans' families or kids, who wonder why dad's always angry and so different, or when people say, “Your dad uses pot”, will be able to actually access information that's not going to stigmatize them or cause further difficulty.
Having spoken with veterans, I think it can be a very lonely world. Some of these experiences involve mislabelling. Some people who have given their lives in service to the nation could do with bringing together the information we have.
