Ground zero is the Canadian Armed Forces. I believe you heard Barry Westholm here. He also defends the family. When I advocated for a case in Comox, I was welcomed in a JPSU as a family member—they didn't know who I was—and to see how I was treated...but more importantly, families are coming out of the service already wounded. Does that answer the question? It starts from there, and then the inclusion.... When you combine the fact that we are excluded medically speaking, it can be understandable, but in the end we're not educated. Our biggest problem is the lack of education and support.
Right now, as a spouse, I can access a number of meetings with a psychologist. That's a good start, but again, it's not enough. Once again, one of the problems is, if the veteran doesn't ask for his spouse, the spouse cannot access that help. Once again, identity and dignity. This is the core. Help me protect myself and the family. Help me be a better caregiver, and I will provide a better environment for the wounded to give him the motivation to fight whatever he has to fight for him to have a quality of life. The biggest problem is right here. They are left alone. They don't fit into society anymore. Their wives leave them. They end up alone. They have trouble accessing service dogs. It becomes very complicated at every level. We are there to compensate on many levels, and also we're the only person who truly knows the person they are inside and still fights for them. We are part of this dynamic, and we need to have...not just to be good, because we are part of the solution.
