At some point, I am going to ask my colleague to say something, but not yet.
As we discuss various concepts here and I brief our stakeholders.... One of our stakeholders is General Dallaire, who reminds me constantly that the families transition with the veterans. As we talk about moving to a new normal, if the veterans can find their new purpose again, be it a career or volunteer work, and if their family is with them, those two components are vital. We know that our partners, spouses, and close friends are essential in giving us counsel, especially when we are having a difficult time. The support we provide to the veteran's family is key.
You'll be aware, based upon the recommendations of this committee, that we have launched pilot projects with the Canadian Armed Forces to provide military family resource centre services in seven locations so that, after people have taken off the uniform because of a medical reason, they have access to the MFRCs and settling in the new location. Especially for those veterans who are most seriously injured, with both physical and mental injuries, family support is essential to their recovery.
