Mr. Speaker, soldiers like Master Corporal Collin Fitzgerald, a man decorated for his incredible courage under fire, are returning home only to have to keep fighting, this time with the Conservative government. He was medically released with severe PTSD, yet when he applied to Veterans Affairs for benefits he had earned, VAC re-diagnosed him with simple anxiety, denying him help he needed.
It is unacceptable to be told one thing by National Defence doctors for release and the opposite by Veterans Affairs, and denied.
When will the minister compel VAC to accept National Defence doctors' diagnoses?
