Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. I'm also sharing my time with Shaun Chen. I'm very pleased to be on this committee. I'm new to the committee, but I'm not new to veterans. My father was a veteran and my brother was a veteran, so I thank you for the work you're doing and I congratulate you for being e

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you all very much for being here today. Mr. Sinclair, I certainly thank you for your service. Mr. MacLeod, as a reservist, thank you for your service as well. Mr. Fellows, I have a lot of questions for you about the research, so thank you for the work you're doing as wel

Veterans Affairs committee  What about in the storytelling? Mr. Sinclair talked about the experiences and that sometimes don't compare one to the other. An important part of your needs assessment would be.... It's general. Certainly each community is different, but it's trying to do some generalities so t

Veterans Affairs committee  I think that's all of my time. Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Thank you, both, for your very informative testimonies. You spoke, Faith, about vet to vet. I know when I was doing some work in the Fredericton area, they were not going to disclose anything about themselves, even whether they were a vet, to someone who was not a ve

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. My next question is about the transition. Knowing what you know now, does the Department of Veterans Affairs work with DND to help on that transition with a veteran? We think of people who retire. There's always the person in HR who gives the explanation. However, tha

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you both for your presentations today. I'm wondering about the prescription itself. The first time someone asks for a prescription for marijuana, is the prescription automatically for a year?

Veterans Affairs committee  It sounds, Dr. Heber, that a lot of this has evolved over the course of time. I find it surprising there's been such a little amount of research since 2008. In fact, a number of the vets who are using marijuana as a form to try to manage PTSD are probably on other medications as
