I appreciate that, Mr. Cape. I'm looking consistently at examples of study after study that demonstrate that there's significant decline in morale among rank-and-file RCMP. That's not just with respect to bonus and merit, which Mr. Delisle has talked about. More importantly, it's how would it be to jump into a police cruiser and the person beside me has been absorbed as an RCMP member from, say, the Vancouver police service, and he or she is treated or paid differently than I am by virtue of the fact that we were unable to get this pension right at the outset, as far as the time in which they were in depot.
I'm asking a very specific question to you, Madam Rossignol, and others. Is it possible at this stage, at this juncture, as suggested by Mr. Delisle--I know you responded to Mr. Warkentin on this--to buy back or provide a provision, or at least an estimate of the cost, to allow RCMP officers to buy back that six months of their pension?
