When you release from the Canadian Armed Forces, you go through a checklist of what you have to do. On that list is whether you have any medical conditions. You must do a medical and a dental check prior to release.
The question always comes up of what kind of circumstance someone would be in to sort of pop up at the other end. An example—and this really gets into the surgeon general area—could be that they have a temporary medical category that precludes their ability to deploy, and because of, say, a mild stroke or something, they've decided through a family relationship that this job is going to “sort of kill you”. They will decide they want to be gone in a month on a voluntary release; then they would reapply at the other end for both programs. There's a window for non-service and service-related for 120 days. There's a little difference for service-related and Veterans Affairs.
That could be an example of someone deciding they are going to get out, even though they know they have some medical issues to be dealt with. The idea of our process is, as the chief said, you won't leave until we get that. We have to become faster in our medical reviews and all of those, and that's best addressed by the surgeon general, but globally that's the concept.
