Government officials
Region:
Canada

As of 2014 the government has shut down 10 of Canada's veterans affairs offices, which help veterans greatly by generating services to needs of veterans, they are vast and complex and always evolving. This includes training in:

Federal claims processing, screening for eligibility for services and benefits;

Veterans Affairs legislation;

Regulations, policies and acts to determine eligibility for services and benefits for Canadian Armed Forces members;

The New Veterans Charter, particularly the Rehabilitation Program;

Mental health issues, crisis intervention, difficult clients and suicide intervention; motivational interviewing techniques;

Treatment under Programs of Choice;

Assessment for Veterans Independence Program (VIP);

Liaising with legion service officers, suppliers, providers, social workers, hospitals and specialized healthcare practitioners;

The government reasoning for closing this offices is to make Canada less in debt,millions of dollars are spent a year to keep these running, my argument to the government is where would we be if they didn't fight for our freedom.

It is now our time go fight for them.

We, the undersigned, call on the Canadian government to reopen the veterans affair offices.
