Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for coming.
We're all aware of the good work OSISS has been doing. We travelled as a committee to Edmonton and spoke to some of the people there and have followed it. So congratulations to all of you for the courage that Cyndi and Shawn show in doing the work they're doing. I know that it's invaluable.
I agree with the whole premise of the peer-to-peer notion, because in the area of the country I'm from there's a first nation saying: “You never understand a person until you walk a mile in their moccasins”. This is one very graphic example of that, I think.
I'm wondering if the number of people accessing OSISS has increased with the Afghanistan deployment. I assume that it has, but I don't know that we've heard any specific numbers. And has the mission presented any particular challenges in this area?
The next question is one I'd like either of you to answer. My colleague Denis Coderre mentioned the Chicoutimi. I'm wondering about the other services. We're hearing now about the army, but I'm wondering about the services for naval personnel, in that instance, or the air services, and how they access the programs as well.
