Madam Speaker, first and foremost, it is important for me to express my full support tonight for “Le communautaire à boutte” movement. Before becoming an MP, I served as executive director of the Hautes-Laurentides community development corporation for over five years. I worked closely with more than 50 organizations that provide services that government agencies cannot. These are dedicated [more]

Excuse me, but I'd like to understand what makes this training program unique. My question is: Does the training cover military culture, among other things?

Out Standing For example,is a film we'll ask students to watch to try to understand Captain Perron's reality after what she went through in 1995. Is that correct?

Thank you, Madam Chair. What I heard from the witnesses is that they lack some things to improve services or to properly identify their needs. That's what I took away. If we don't know these things, we won't be able to do anything. We need to hear about the cases. We're happy when things are going well, but what concerns us is what's not working as well. I heard my colleague ask if the meetings [more]

I'd like to tell the witnesses that I'm very grateful for their work and for what they are trying to achieve. As for me, I have a duty to speak on behalf of the people who elected me. I know that compassion fatigue can sometimes hit us hard.

Ms. Lockyer, I heard you say that you've experienced this first-hand. How can service providers as a whole deliver services if they don't consider or understand the lived reality of fellow service members?

I think thousands of people are watching us now, or will be watching us, so make sure you have plenty of people on hand, because veterans contact us after they’ve knocked on many doors and haven’t received any response. I'd be grateful if something has been resolved. At this time, are you satisfied with the performance standards for service delivery? Are you satisfied with the contract?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I still feel like we're talking about the improvements we're making and the good work we're doing, and congratulating ourselves. Yet we've just completed a study on people who die by suicide. We fully recognize the value these individuals bring to our national defence, especially since we will be asking others to serve as well. What am I supposed to tell the people in my [more]

Thank you very much. Let's get back to basics, namely, the fact that we all want to do a good job. We're not pointing fingers at anyone. We don't wake up in the morning saying that we're not going to do our jobs properly. That said, we often find ourselves having to say that we're doing the best we can with what we have. Deputy Minister, my question is this: What is missing to move beyond [more]

minister Prime Minister In fact, our role is also to assist you in making requests to the appropriate authorities. We will be meeting with the, and we'll be asking her the same questions. Is this cabinet's responsibility? Is it the's responsibility? At some point, if we say this is important, we'll have to walk the talk. If you don't tell us that you're lacking funding and resources, and if you [more]

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll continue on the topic of care. Earlier, I heard mention of training. I don't know which witnesses could explain what specific training employees receive in order to become service providers.
