Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm particularly pleased to be here this evening, as I represent what's probably the second-largest military riding in the country, including CFB Esquimalt on the west coast. I have a large number of serving Canadian Forces members and a large number of veterans in my riding. We do a lot of casework with both serving members and veterans. I think the most frequently heard difficulty in my office has been the difficulty in convincing either Veterans Affairs or DND that there is a connection between mental health challenges and physical manifestations. There is a presumption that those two have nothing to do with each other, which seems to inform the programming of both organizations.
My first question is for the chronic pain centre. You've been running for about three years. Do you have the research to help support those serving members and veterans in making the case that the programming has to acknowledge that link?
