In September 2016, I addressed an email to Veterans Affairs Canada, which I will forward to the clerk, and it was called “The Service Dog Tsunami”. I outlined the implications of not having national standards and the size of the supply and demand problem. Jim Barrett, professor emeritus of mathematics from the Royal Military College of Canada, worked on the supply-demand equation, and his answer to me, after six solid months was that the equation was unsolvable, but that did not mitigate our obligation for doing the very best we can.
That's what we have to do. You combine the money, which is the political will—and I'm sorry—with the commitment to provide standards, and we get on with this. That's enough. Rome has burned; Nero has fiddled.
Thank you.
