Thank you very much for that.
Minister, as you know, we are currently conducting a significant study on women veterans here at ACVA. We have heard from a lot of witnesses about the challenges that women veterans face once they leave the Canadian Armed Forces. Equipment affects their bodies differently, and the types of conditions they report, and the frequency, are unique. They have oftentimes faced barriers and unconscious bias throughout their careers.
These factors mean that their requests need to be processed differently. Can you speak to us about what work is being done to reduce the gap in processing times between men and women veterans, particularly regarding disability benefits?
