Thank you, Mr. Bona. As Mr. Johns said, I was with him when he was with those Korean War veterans. It was a great experience to connect with these people who had the kinds of experiences your father did. It was quite an honour.
I've asked some veterans about this before. Although there are questions about what happens in the Canadian Armed Forces, there are programs in the forces that can affect how a veteran transitions. Was there any special training for indigenous members during an armed forces career that prepared them for these challenges and let them know that these services were available to them? Many of them go back to isolated areas when they transition. Were they told about the challenges they were going to have and how to address them? Was there any sort of training like that in the armed forces, specifically for indigenous members?
