If I could expand on that, Mr. Chair, both General Jaeger and I realize that we need to get more people into Petawawa. We have heard that message loud and clear. We try not to attach to it, but clearly, we need to put an OTSSC-like thing in Petawawa as quickly as possible, and that's what we're working on right now—and in Gagetown.
If I could add—which may assist the committee—we have to remember that at the same time we put in the OTSSCs, these are part of a broader concept. That concept is connected to the Department of Veterans Affairs, because they have OSI clinics, and the two look pretty much the same across the country in different locations. So the Department of Veterans Affairs is putting an OSI clinic into Gagetown very shortly. To help meet or address the issue, the two departments are working together very closely. Don't quote me here, but I believe the department was given money in the last budget to add an additional ten OSI clinics, and one of them is going to be in Gagetown.
So you're right, especially for reservists. And that's an issue that did come up, Mr. Chair, at the lessons learned symposium. I agree it is one of those six areas. What do we do for reservists who are in Kitchener, but maybe not in Toronto and maybe not in Petawawa? Again, we don't have the time to go through this, but we know it's an issue.
We're moving ahead on a number of different fronts to ensure that men and women in uniform, regular or reserve, get the support they need. But we realize the challenge is when someone is not near a major base.
