Yes, we have been working with Veterans Affairs Canada to do some training. We did a virtual training exercise just recently—I believe it was earlier this year—with a few hundred staff from across the country. As people come on board to Veterans Affairs Canada, there should be minimum training. There should never be a case where a purge survivor goes to present, whether it be in a VAC office or to a case manager, and they have to explain to the case manager what the purge was.
There should be a basic level of understanding, particularly with all case managers, and anyone within the leadership authority within Veterans Affairs should have an understanding. There also should be an understanding of the issues that affect individuals who were part of the purge. That should be ongoing.
With the number of case managers we have seen with turnover, it has been difficult, which is why I made the other suggestion of having dedicated case managers who are subject matter experts work directly with LGBT veterans.
