I left the Canadian Armed Forces four years ago now, and we are well aware that there is a change of culture underway. I can't comment on what is happening in the Canadian Armed Forces.
When I said we wanted to be treated like one of the guys, I had just enrolled, in 1982. I remember it very well. That was 40 years ago. There have been big changes since that time. I don't concern myself with what is happening in the Canadian Armed Forces today; my focus is on veterans. I am extremely happy to be here and to see that your committee is examining the experiences of women veterans.
