I have just a general comment.
The scope of this bill is narrowed to Canadian Forces members, and there is one common theme: they are compelled to duty, while there are other classes that are not. While it may be worthwhile at some point to do a study or to engage in that debate, what we are looking for now is for this particular bill to go forward into the House. We would not be open to entertaining a broader discussion about other groups in this context.
I think we heard Mr. Duquette testify to indicate that his concerns as an armed forces member were that there were others who were either hospitalized or institutionalized because they didn't have much choice in the matter. They had to be there, and this bill deals with that.
My information is that RCMP members are not compelled to take duty. They have to volunteer or choose to do that, given everything they know, so there's a difference.
We're not prepared to broaden the scope of this bill at this time. Whether in the future there may be some discussion is another matter.
