"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6728216\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6728217\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Good afternoon to my colleagues and the witnesses, who I'd like to thank.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6728218\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I think all of the witnesses will agree that when it comes to veterans' services, Canada would do well to draw on certain examples, and the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs seems to be one of them. Based on what was said earlier, I get the impression that the assistance provided by service dogs is really valuable and that it's worth a lot. It's a way to help veterans with post-traumatic stress and reduce the use of medication. The Australian department seems to understand this, because they have a psychiatric service dog program.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6728219\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mrs. Garrett-Baird, this program offers full reimbursement for costs associated with dogs that are not only trained, but also certified. Do you think Veterans Affairs Canada is considering moving towards full reimbursement of the a veteran's costs?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6728216\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6728217\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Je salue mes coll\u00e8gues et les t\u00e9moins, que je remercie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6728218\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je crois que ce qui suit fera consensus chez tous les t\u00e9moins: en mati\u00e8re de services aux v\u00e9t\u00e9rans, le Canada aurait avantage \u00e0 s'inspirer de certains exemples, et le minist\u00e8re des Anciens Combattants de l'Australie semble en \u00eatre un. \u00c0 la suite de ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 dit plus t\u00f4t, j'ai l'impression que l'aide fournie par les chiens d'assistance est vraiment pr\u00e9cieuse et qu'elle vaut cher. C'est une fa\u00e7on d'aider les v\u00e9t\u00e9rans vivant un stress post-traumatique et de r\u00e9duire l'usage de m\u00e9dicaments. Le minist\u00e8re australien semble l'avoir compris, puisqu'il s'est dot\u00e9 d'un programme de chiens d'assistance psychiatrique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6728219\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame Garrett-Baird, ce programme offre le remboursement entier des frais associ\u00e9s pour des chiens qui sont non seulement entra\u00een\u00e9s, mais aussi certifi\u00e9s. Selon vous, Anciens Combattants Canada envisage-t-il d'en arriver \u00e0 rembourser la totalit\u00e9 des frais qu'un v\u00e9t\u00e9ran doit assumer?</p>"
