OTTAWA — Veterans Affairs Canada has closed its investigation into reports that former service members were offered medical assistance in dying, saying it uncovered only four"isolated" incidents involving a single employee.
That report sparked immediate condemnation and concern within Canada's veterans' community, and prompted an internal investigation that later confirmed three more cases involving the same case manager. Veterans Affairs has not identified the four veterans affected, but the head of the department on Friday said officials invited several former service members to provide more information about their complaints so they could be investigated.
"So we have a record of all engagement and interaction between Veterans Affairs Canada employees and the veterans that they are serving, either through case management or through graduated support," he said."The files are comprehensive."
