Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much for returning to answer our questions.
On Tuesday of this week, we heard from NATO veterans, and their concern relates to the discussion around the transfer of Ste. Anne's Hospital. They were very clear that they felt they were not a priority with the government, that somehow they were second-class in terms of the fact that they weren't veterans of World War II or Korea. They were very concerned that being pushed onto the province, made the responsibility of the province, would neither provide them with the uniform kind of care they expect nor acknowledge the federal government's responsibility for their care.
I'm wondering if, in terms of the report on plans and priorities, at any time you consulted with veterans in regard to these feelings of being disposed of, being discarded.
