Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Veterans Affairs committee We've not heard this come out of our members. We have noticed that trend with our members who are accessing it. Partly our issue is that those OSI clinics are located in central areas. Our members are not located in central areas, so that's something that is causing issues for us

D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee We have a lot of information on our out-facing website—we have a public website—but also we're working with our vets association. That's our key point of contact. When I spoke of the advice group, it's how to make sure as we go along that all our vets are able to find this info

Veterans Affairs committee We deal mainly with the member or the veteran. Notwithstanding that, many times it is possible to be involved with the family. We're looking at R2MR and the future state of R2MR. Once we get all of our front-line members trained, the next phase is on how we engage with the famili

Veterans Affairs committee Our mental health strategy?
October 20th, 2016Committee meeting
D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee The mental health strategy has been really focused on our membership to start with, our serving police officers, only because we have to get that training out as quickly as we can. That's why we made it mandatory in that first phase. Stephen and I have had discussions, even as

D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee I'd have to ask our vets association for those stats. Our retirees will usually retire near their kids. I'm speaking for myself, probably; I wouldn't be able to tell you, but we have a sprinkling. We have a lot of people.... Our east coasters go back home. Many people seem to lik

Veterans Affairs committee —oh, an increase in claims?
October 20th, 2016Committee meeting
D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee I think that as we are putting out our mental health strategy, and this is all anecdotal, you're telling people that this is a condition. You're telling people it's okay—and it is okay—to come forward and get some help. You're telling people more about it, about what's available
October 20th, 2016Committee meeting
D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee I don't think we ever leave. We retire and we're still all the same. We're considered part of one family. Even when our members leave, many of our people are still.... They step up to the plate as veterans.

Veterans Affairs committee I'll let my national mental health champion speak to that, if I may.
October 20th, 2016Committee meeting
D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee No, and that's one of the gaps we've noticed. What we've done in the last couple of years under Pierre's leadership is we have a liaison officer sitting with Veterans Affairs. We've been working on this outreach program trying to educate our members on how this works, that if the
October 20th, 2016Committee meeting
D/Commr Daniel Dubeau
Veterans Affairs committee As to how many retire early, I can't give you the specific stats. I can tell you that the attrition rates for most of our female members—the average time at which they retire, unless it's changed—is after about 28 years' service. Our male members are going for 35 years. Contrary
