Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd first like to say that I hear what you're telling us. I acknowledge your saying, among other things, that the anger you are experiencing is justified. As I said in the previous hour, when you appreciate and cherish someone, you take care of them.
Ms. Rose, you have shown that not only do you value your sisters and former colleagues, but you also take direct action. Thank you for that.
I say this knowingly, since, at the beginning of my career, I was a suicide prevention worker. I also worked with people struggling with addiction. I was one of those people who provided frontline services at the time. People need answers when they are ready to disclose what they are experiencing. It can be anywhere at any time.
However, what I'm hearing from you are problems related to subcontracting and the use of drugs. Psychotropic drugs are overused. It's like suffocating.
I would like to know all of your recommendations.
Mr. Bennett, do you want to add a few things that are crucial to changing the actions toward military members like you during and after their service?
