Mr. Speaker, Claims · 95 wordstoday is the second anniversary of the tabling of the ACVA committee report entitled “Invisible No More.¹ The Experiences of Canadian Women Veterans”. The report makes 42 recommendations and emphasizes the need to address health and research gaps, economic and social challenges, military sexual trauma, ²and the systemic barriers for women getting the services they are entitled to. Behind every recommendation was a woman who came forward to share her story. These are stories of service, of sacrifice, of resilience and too often, of feeling unseen. Many of those women are here in Parliament today. Promise · 44 wordsAs co-chair of the parliamentary friendship group for veterans, I will share that we will be hosting a round table discussion this afternoon with the Invisible No More project to talk about the progress made on the recommendations and what remains to be done.³ Thanks · 17 wordsAs we mark this anniversary, I thank all women veterans. We see them and we hear them.Thanks
