Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Walbourne and Ms. Hynes for being here. We always appreciate having you before our committee.
Currently this committee is looking at a comparative study of services to veterans as it relates to other jurisdictions, comparing what we have and whether we can learn or take better practices from other jurisdictions and make recommendations to the government.
You talked about the term “reasonably” being used as far as attribution to service, and talked about the distinction between having two kinds of hoops to jump through. There are ailments or injury attributed to service by the Canadian Forces, and then there's jumping through the other hoop when you are dealing with Veterans Affairs.
I'm wondering if you're aware of how this is determined in any other jurisdiction, whether there are best practices that you're aware of in other jurisdictions and how we could possibly improve upon that in our situation.
