Veterans Affairs committee I am really surprised at this 10 minutes, one minute.... It really cuts out the discourse and the freedom of being able to speak. I'm sorry, it is like the sandwiches—they are for MPs only. Rules and regulations, I understand.

Veterans Affairs committee I'll speak quickly, then. It's very interesting that there's no such thing as PTSD in Israel. They live close to the people, and that's your point. But there is none whatsoever. My second point is that right now in Veterans Affairs, there is no process for transition. We made t

Veterans Affairs committee It's just your point about My VAC. I happen to have started computers early. Believe it or not, can you guess how long we've been in NATO? It's 70 years. There are more than 220,000 people who are ex-NATO people, and they are generational, despite your saying that it's only going

Veterans Affairs committee Sorry, just let me finish. It is the same word, and it's probably somewhere if we looked in the legislation. Nobody's ever found “benefit of the doubt” or used it.

Veterans Affairs committee That is a super question. I spoke with Mr. Landry who came to see each of the presidents. That's the problem for Mr. Landry at the Veterans Review Board, who is outside Veterans Affairs, as you know, when he has cases come to him. He said right now his hands are tied by bureaucra

Veterans Affairs committee PTSD is a two-edged sword because the more publicity we give it with the veterans, the more difficult it is for a veteran.

Veterans Affairs committee You would go down as a heroine of seven or nine different veterans' organizations. This is my sixth year, my last presentation, I'm now retiring, and this has been number one, just what you described. If that happened, I could retire quite happily, so yes.

Veterans Affairs committee It was in the paper. I'm sorry, that's not a shot. It was in the media, shall we say. Nobody reads the paper now. It was Lieutenant-General Belzile. He was the Chief of the Defence Staff. He applied because he had some medical difficulties where he could no longer stay in the h
