Outspoken Advocate Dept: Retired intelligence officer Sean Bruyea, an outspoken advocate for soldiers, said he knew officials at the department had read and shared his personal information five years ago. That was around the time he was testifying against the new Veterans Charter, because benefits he had previously qualified for were being denied, according to CTV. Bruyea said it was "hell" during the five years between his 2005 testimony and last Thursday's announcement by Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart that his files were indeed accessed and shared among department staffers and a war veteran whose personal medical files were inappropriately accessed by bureaucrats at the Department of Veterans Affairs said the experience left him feeling so terrified and helpless his wife had to stop him from committing suicide. Bruyea is a Gulf War veteran who was seeing a psychologist for post-traumatic stress disorder. He and his wife, Carolina, were also in couples counselling because of his health problems. As
