Suicide rates have climbed, homelessness has increased, and yet veterans still face unacceptable waits for mental health services. The report on veterans' treatment, buried by the previous government, is still missing in action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4178345\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our veterans need help today. They should not have to wait for the minister to get around to reopening offices. When will all veterans finally get the mental health and other services they need?</p>",

Le taux de suicide et le nombre de sans-abri ont augment\u00e9. Pourtant, les anciens combattants subissent encore des d\u00e9lais d'attente inacceptables pour obtenir des services de sant\u00e9 mentale. Le rapport sur le traitement des anciens combattants, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 rel\u00e9gu\u00e9 aux oubliettes par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, est toujours manquant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4178345\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nos anciens combattants ont besoin d'aide maintenant. Ils ne devraient pas avoir \u00e0 attendre que le ministre se d\u00e9cide \u00e0 rouvrir les bureaux. Quand tous les anciens combattants recevront-ils finalement les services de sant\u00e9 mentale et les autres services dont ils ont besoin?</p>"
