Veterans Affairs committee  The one thing that General Dallaire has often talked about in relation to our work is to ensure that they never have to fight again. That is such a powerful line. If they feel as though they are fighting again when they come home in order to access everything that is available to

Veterans Affairs committee  I wholly support the DND ombudsman's report and recommendations. I have said that publicly for far too long, it feels now, going back to that time, and obviously he has since produced new recommendations.

Veterans Affairs committee  It really is. One of the things in talking about this—and he also references it—is that it's not necessarily a cost change. It's more of a process change.
