Veterans Affairs committee  That funding will be available in the new year. We can get you information after this meeting on it.

Veterans Affairs committee  In terms of getting information to you, were you aware of all of the new services that are now available—the pension for life, the re-opening of nine veterans' offices, the joint suicide prevention strategy, the veterans emergency fund, the career transition services program, the

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you for that. My colleague asked you some questions about the mental health side. One message I heard clearly from you, Mr. Stanfield, concerned veterans wanting to reconnect with their families. Within the capacity of the house you're operating, are you able to offer this

Veterans Affairs committee  Dr. Segaert said that 50% of vets under the age of 25 are females. Do you find the same ratio in your house? As well, is it women or men who tend to stay longer?

Veterans Affairs committee  Do they ever come in with children?

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Thank you both for your testimony today. I'm going to start with Dr. Segaert. I'm looking at your research. You're a Ph.D. grad from McMaster. Did you always have an interest in veterans or in homelessness, or both?

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Would you consider your data collection methodology something you would recommend? We have 200 agencies falling within the interactive map. Would your method of data collection be something you would recommend for those who are dealing with homelessness, so that we co

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Mr. Stanfield, thank you very much for all the work you're doing. It's amazing that it's being done by so many kind and caring volunteers in communities. Have you applied directly to the veterans wellness fund?

Veterans Affairs committee  Do I have more time?

Veterans Affairs committee  Dr. Busse, what you're suggesting I think is really important. Similar to Dr. Zhang and also to Mr. Cohen, you're emphasizing research and the work you've done. Research will be critical as we move forward because we're talking about the health of individuals and no government g

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. On Tuesday we had two doctors appear before us. I found it surprising, first of all, that they knew Veterans Affairs did not prescribe the drugs but, they said, certainly provided reimbursement. That much we knew. In terms of the authorizing specialists, though, such

Veterans Affairs committee  Mr. Cohen, what's the best way to get information to, let's say, a veteran who is using marijuana, maybe potentially even self-medicating—because as you said, Dr. Zhang, there is a difference in the strength of the THC between medical marijuana and recreational marijuana—so we kn

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you for your testimony today. I'm going to start with Mr. Cohen. First of all, thank you for your service. It's quite rare for someone who has your experience and background to go on and become a pharmacology student studying for a master's, so thank you for doing that.

Veterans Affairs committee  Do you also hear from veterans a concern about reporting a medical condition or a mental health condition to the military doctor while they're in service? I've heard from some who suggest that it can be career limiting.
