Madam Speaker, I would like to sincerely thank my colleague from Rivière-des-Mille-Îles for clearly defining the problems that veterans face when they leave the military and return to civilian life. I especially appreciated his tribute to those who have worn the uniform. He gave a great description of the reality of being out of uniform. For people like us, who have never served in the military, a return to civilian life seems perfectly normal, but that is not the case. There are hundreds of military members and veterans in my riding, and I am prepared to attest to that.
My colleague clearly established that there are many aspects to this debate. Is there a specific recommendation that he would like the government to implement?
Since partisan politics have no place in a debate like this, what is the first step that any government should take to improve the transition from military to civilian life?
