Veterans Affairs committee  I think everyone is here doing their job. It's a complex world, however, and PTSD goes on forever. Every day is a new day. I'm 40 years old. I got in after working construction for 15 years. I argue and fight with anybody who I see doing something that could kill others. What was the question?

Veterans Affairs committee  The message is building. A year ago I started talking to fellows and educating people online. More and more people are starting to come forward. We hear about all these suicides because guys on the bases let people know right away. It's escalating, unfortunately. It's inevitable.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, to an extent.

Veterans Affairs committee  I decided to use social media to set up an opportunity for fellows to have access to the information forms they need to fill out to get their military medical records and their Veterans Affairs Canada history, in the event they may eventually choose to be a representative plaintiff in the case, if it proceeds.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm from Vancouver, British Columbia. My name is Aaron Michael Bedard. I was a combat engineer in the Canadian Forces. I served on Task Force 106. I was outside where Charlie Alpha Bravo companies in the QRF served in Sangin and all that good stuff. In the summer of 2006, being in constant combat and around colleagues who were dying almost every single day, it was something that's not like suicide but quite similar.
