Veterans Affairs committee  The answer is that it depends at which level we are seeing this. It's a lot more about vignette and discussion versus PowerPoint presentations and saying you shall do this and you will not do this. This is a discussion on a group basis. We also have a great app that we just laun

Veterans Affairs committee  I just want to add that the SMSRC is the expert on that MST support. I know that with their support team, they are a bit similar to OSISS, with restorative engagement. Their team works with victims of MST to try to help them get better.

Veterans Affairs committee  That's a very good question. If you remember the SHARP training, it was one day when everyone focused. Honestly, as a woman, it was very...because I was the cause. I was in a squadron full of men, and then they'd turn to me and say, “We're here because of you.” It was not reall

Veterans Affairs committee  Personally, when I talk to women, one of the biggest gaps remaining is the access to child care, because as we move from province to province, we end up on a waiting list. We don't have the luxury of waiting for two years to get a spot, because two years later we're posted again.

Veterans Affairs committee  It goes back to my point that we've changed from assimilation to inclusion. I could probably talk for days about what we're doing about inclusion. I did my fellowship, and I did all the research on things that we need to change to really look at the differences and not look at th

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much. I don't think you're going to like my answer, but all of those reports are Veterans Affairs reports, so they're not ours. You will have to ask Veterans Affairs for those reports.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm sorry. I'm going to have to call.... Can you repeat that question? I'm not contagious, by the way. I've been tested about 12 times. It's laryngitis. It makes me cough. I tried a pressure point, in case you're wondering what I'm doing. It's to stop me from coughing.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much. I'm going to elaborate. When we look at veterans, for me, my mission is to ensure that we don't break women. We want them to have a very long career where they contribute and they feel safe. Those are the changes that we're doing. However, we look at the

Veterans Affairs committee  First of all, before I give the floor to Major-General Bilodeau, I think we need to look at the transition support we provide now, the formalized support throughout the transition that we didn't used to have. You were military one day. The next day you returned your ID and the co

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much. I'm not sure if Dan can answer this, because this is more of a VAC-targeted question, but we'll give him the floor.

Veterans Affairs committee  I would just like to clarify that I'm Franco-Ontarian.

Veterans Affairs committee  I wouldn't go that far.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much. That's absolutely vital. Women need to be able to do their jobs. They need to be safe while doing their jobs, to be protected and to be enabled to be all that they can be. I always go back and say that we asked women to deploy in the field with boots that

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Again, we're looking at measures to help serving members. That's the CAF mandate. From a health perspective, I guess I'll give the floor to Marc, who can talk specifically about what we're doing.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm just going to add, in case anyone is interested, that there is an incredible book out there. It's by Caroline Pérez, and it's called Invisible Women. It's about the world that was designed by men for men, and now women are invisible in society. The CAF and the military are th
