"The institute should be modelled on an existing one for military members and veterans, but operate separately, the MPs say."

Almost everything I have been reading recently in the media about the treatment of veterans has been disturbingly negative whether that was under Julian Fantino, Erin O'Toole or to date under Kent Hehr who doesn't appear so far any more responsive to the continuing problems of their injuries and disabilities in spite of the "optics" of his own circumstances!

I struggle with MP's ability to think inside or outside the box that they are in...why not have a Canadian PTSD Institute or other umbrella org with subsets/subdivisions all talking to each other...Military, Police, Fire, Ambulance, Emergency Ward/Trauma...sharing information...the scene was horrific whether caused by bullet, fire or distracted driver!

Of course MPs would want them to operate separately...that's how they function...along party lines...party whipped into shape...not for the public good!
