I would like to touch on three or four different things—quickly, I promise.
One of them was something that Dr. Breeck mentioned about WREN. One of the reasons that developed was to provide some institutional support to women veteran advocates. Some of them would walk into a room and be ignored and shut out or shut down. It was not acceptable, but having some of that organizational support gave credibility. It was quite unfortunate, but it was a role that we were, if not pleased to fill, then there to fill.
VAC is doing better on commemoration in many respects, in terms of reflecting veterans and who they are. I would encourage everyone to take a look at an event that we sponsored on veteran identities, which, as I mentioned, highlighted some of the people you heard from on Monday.
Have a look around at Remembrance Day and think about the women who are front and centre and the organizations they are part of, the women veterans community. How included are they in national events that are significant, and what is the policy on that? I think that's a question that needs to be asked.
To Dr. Breeck's point, in terms of taking time to process and understand and find a place, there's also a sense of moral injury and institutional betrayal. There is some disconnect there in terms of how people feel able to identify as a veteran, and certainly to connect to Veterans Affairs, sometimes, to receive the supports they should be accessing, which weren't always very transparent or clear to them as they transitioned out of the military.
