"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3869967\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I proposed this amendment because I am afraid that there could be problems, for example, in the case of a person leaving the Canadian Forces, feeling unwell and likely suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. After a year or two, that person's post-traumatic stress is recognized as attributable to his or her service. We know that, without doubt, the discharge will not be recognized. I am afraid that a situation like that could be a problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3869968\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Previously, wounded soldiers and those discharged for non-medical reasons were not able to obtain benefits from the Service Income Security Insurance Plan, even after their condition was recognized as a ground for the discharge. If the text is not amended, I feel that this kind of problem could happen again. So it seems to me to be important for us to pass the amendment because, at the moment, a person leaving the forces because of post-traumatic stress syndrome, or for other reasons, would have problems in such a situation.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3869967\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> J'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 cet amendement parce que je crains qu'il puisse y avoir des probl\u00e8mes dans le cas, par exemple, d'un militaire qui quitte les Forces canadiennes, qui ne se sent pas bien, qui souffre probablement d'un syndrome de stress post-traumatique et qui, apr\u00e8s un an ou deux, obtient la reconnaissance que ce syndrome de stress post-traumatique est li\u00e9 \u00e0 son service. On sait que la lib\u00e9ration ne sera sans aucun doute pas retenue. Je crains qu'il puisse y avoir un probl\u00e8me dans une telle situation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3869968\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Auparavant, les militaires bless\u00e9s et lib\u00e9r\u00e9s pour des raisons non m\u00e9dicales ne pouvaient pas obtenir leurs prestations d'invalidit\u00e9 en vertu du R\u00e9gime d'assurance-revenu militaire, et ce, m\u00eame apr\u00e8s la reconnaissance de leur \u00e9tat \u00e0 cause du motif de lib\u00e9ration. Si le texte n'est pas modifi\u00e9, je pense que ce type de probl\u00e8me pourrait se reproduire. Il m'appara\u00eet donc important d'adopter l'amendement parce que, pr\u00e9sentement, un militaire qui quitterait les forces \u00e0 cause d'un syndrome de stress post-traumatique ou d'autres causes aurait des probl\u00e8mes en vertu d'une telle situation. </p>"
