Karen Ludwig
Veterans Affairs committee I represent an area in New Brunswick. I know all of the usage in that province in particular.

November 20th, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
Veterans Affairs committee Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to thank all of you for the work you're doing. It's incredibly important. Some of this is anecdotal, so I'll ask some questions on data, but I certainly thank you for the work you're doing. Ms. Lowther, do you live in Halifax?
November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
Veterans Affairs committee Okay. I live in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, and my colleague lives in northern New Brunswick, so some of my questions will be more specific to the Atlantic region and will have to do with rural versus urban. I also sit on the international trade committee. We hear very different

Karen Ludwig
Veterans Affairs committee What would you recommend for affordable housing in very rural settings? I can think of so many maritimers who will leave, especially in the case of service, with Base Gagetown in New Brunswick. and who will end up coming back. They want to be in their home communities.

November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
Veterans Affairs committee From your experience, do you see more supports or fewer for veterans than five years ago?
November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
Veterans Affairs committee What about conflicts? Is there a common conflict, such as a war conflict that the veterans have participated in, or is it just all veterans, from 17 to 92, as you mentioned, Mr. Gordon?
November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
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.
November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
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.
November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
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
November 22nd, 2018Committee meeting
Karen Ludwig
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
