Thanks very much.
General, the person I'm going to refer to retired some time ago from the Canadian military, so the information might be out of date, but what she told me was that, as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, she could go anywhere in the world, from Masset in Haida Gwaii, the former Queen Charlotte Islands, to Egypt, and there would be a place to meet people.
The issue was the hard landing after leaving the service. I'm not sure whether that's still the case or not, but she told me that it was interesting to be in this close-knit family for so many years and then to be outside. So now we get to the point of accessing services. As you say, in some cases it might be that some time passes before you need to even get involved with something like that.
What is the situation currently for veterans wishing to access services? There is an array of services available to them. Are they generally aware of how to access those services? We've heard about one-stop shopping.
Could you comment about the ability to actually engage again with Veterans Affairs and so on regarding services.
