I think that would be good, taking in all the comments. It obviously has to have “Draft” on it, and there are other ones that we've seen with the highlighting that you just read through. I believe there's a bit of a mission statement that lays out what it is about.
Clearly, this is a veterans' committee, and I think each of the others will have their own opinion. If we're going to call it a bill of rights.... Actually, in here somewhere, someone was asking whether it is actually going to be a bill or whether it's basically going to be a policy. We need to do that in order to know what we want to have done with this. If it's going to be a bill of rights, would that bill of rights then be complementary to the ones in the other emergency services, whether it's the RCMP or DND?
If we're going to redraft it, we should just give our clerk some direction on that. Clearly this is the veterans' committee, and I think this should deal only with veterans at this time. We can get some clarity with respect to some of the comments that have been made here, and we need to take some of those into context when we're developing the content of the bill of rights, if we're going to call it that.
I also think that if we have other suggestions, today is the time to give them to the clerk, so that he doesn't have another ten to consider putting into it when he comes back. I would just open it up, Mr. Chair, for that kind of discussion. If we're comfortable with using this as a format to delete and take away from today, maybe we can use it to get a draft that he could put together for us for our next get-together.
