Thank you, Chair.
This is brief and, again, feel free to ask me to expand on them if you like. I have many lived experience examples.
One, I would increase benefits for women living alone who are often without a caregiver or family member.
Update the claims process to better reflect women's physical health issues, including female-specific forms for sexual, urinary, and reproductive issues. I've included in evidence one of the medical questionnaires, and I can go into that further in question period.
Specially train a group of case managers in regions of Canada who are knowledgeable of women's issues, including that of housing insecurity and homelessness, and military sexual trauma.
Create systemic changes to ensure that medical and psychosocial recommendations made to help women veterans are acknowledged and followed.
Finally, invest in women veterans-specific research, preferably carried out by women veterans themselves.
Thank you, Chair.
