I can't tell you that, because I left the military in 2020. However, I can tell you about my experience as a veteran from 2020 to date. I haven't had the opportunity to connect with a Veterans Affairs counsellor who could have guided me or told me what benefits I'm entitled to as a veteran. I don't know what programs are available to support me in civilian life. I haven't had the opportunity to meet with anyone from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Has there been a change in the department? I can't speak to that. I can speak more about my personal experience. As a Black veteran, I haven't had the opportunity to be in front of a clerk or counsellor who could have told me about Veterans Affairs Canada's services. I probably know there are some, but I'm not familiar with them.
