Dear Mr. Walbourne:

Thank you for your letter of September 21, 2017 and for your advice and recommendations in the 2017 report, Canadian Rangers: A Systemic Investigation of the Factors that Impact Healthcare Entitlements and Related Benefits of the Rangers. I concur with the importance of the issues raised in the report and support the recommendations.

The health and well-being of the Canadian Rangers is of paramount importance; no obstacles must prevent our provision of care to the members of this organization. Consequently, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) will clarify its policies concerning Ranger entitlement to healthcare and subsequently, the Canadian Army will ensure these policy clarifications are well understood by all Canadian Rangers. This effort will be supported by effective instruction on illness and injury identification and reporting which will be integrated in all levels of Ranger training.

The CAF will continue to improve the instructional and reporting processes related to illness and injuries to ensure that all Rangers are acquainted with all pertinent procedures, while fully understanding their healthcare options. The CAF will also systemically review the cultural, geographical, economic, and social aspects of Canadian Rangers in order to minimize barriers to receiving healthcare.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that the CAF strives for excellence and will address the issues you have identified in an efficient, responsive, and timely fashion.

Again, thank you for sharing this report. I look forward to our future discussions.

Yours sincerely,

The Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan, PC, OMM, MSM, CD, MP
