The Chair Conservative Greg Kerr
I would mention one thing regarding the bill. I know the process is good and I know there are always some loose ends. But I've got to tell you that the response that we've gotten, or at least I've gotten, is very positive that this initiative is going forward.
I think the comments that have been made about things that can be done in the future are very genuine. I think they're legitimate. I suspect there may be more down that road that will come from this, but I want us to remind ourselves that this was in response to a very obvious need within the changes that we all believe should happen for the vets.
I think we want to know that the committee did a good job moving this bill forward. I know that the members of the House will probably appreciate that. There is always more that we can do for vets, we understand that.
Thank you all for your co-operation.
The next meeting will be after the break. Please remember that gathering on Tuesday is particularly important this year. It was in place before, obviously, the tragedy happened. I encourage members to show up Tuesday morning at 9:00 at the Cenotaph. It would be a good showing of support.
