I have a lot of faith in Gary Walbourne, he seems to be for the troops and does not seem to be influenced by the politicians.
I will wait until he gives his stamp of approval.
I'm in favor of having medically released soldiers kept in service until their benefits are in place, but I would like to see outside civilian physicians made available to any medically release member who is not getting support in terms of determination by military physicians. If there's no such policy, many could be released with improper medicals, this would make it difficult down the road for worsening or consequential claims all the way around.

“Advocating without malicious intent and demanding the absolute best for our Canadian Veterans, is our combined goal and desired final outcome.”
The Government of Canada (GoC) are standing up and stating they’ll do more for their troops?
Fulfill the promise made and return the lifelong pension for starters.
Stop announcing to society that this and that will happen!
Society through the use of social media is guiding the truth assured to us from the GoC.
Continue on announcing and we will continue to be engaged and keeping you the GoC accountable for all members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

We are routinely seeing that veterans are finally getting some promising results. Years of complains, years of Senior Officiers knowing these issues and doing nothing. One again, if it wasnt for veterans groups demanding change NOTHING would have happened! BZ Soldiers! NEVER GIVE UP

OTTAWA – Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan is promising that sick and injured soldiers will be allowed to stay in the military until their pensions and veterans’ benefits are in place.
The commitment comes as part of the Trudeau government’s new defence policy, which the Liberals unveiled last week.
It is also a direct response to complaints from numerous ill and injured military personnel who say they were essentially cut loose from the Armed Forces too fast and left to fend for themselves.
That includes having to wait months for their pension cheques to start and struggles to access the benefits and services owed them by Veterans Affairs Canada.
Military ombudsman Gary Walbourne has been calling for more than a year for the military to hold onto injured personnel until their benefits and support are lined up.
He says he wants to see the details of the Liberal government’s new plan before giving his seal of approval.
