Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am splitting my time with Mr. McGuire.
Thank you all for coming.
Ms. McFadyen, I'm not going to speak directly to your report, although it's an excellent report on the reserves at the moment. I noticed a quote in there from the director general of health services, from January 2007, which says, “No one is really 100 percent sure who gets what. Nobody really knows, including me, and I run the system...”.
What I think we have found so far is that there seems to be a lack of consistency in support services, whether in the west or in the east of the country. There seems to be a lack of knowledge about the issue we're dealing with. There seems to be a lack of compassion in some cases, people telling soldiers to just suck it up. There is a lack of resources in terms of having trained psychiatrists, and so on, and a lack of consistency in terms of reintegration. And concerning the comment made by Mr. Stogran that no one should slip through the cracks, we've heard that term again and again.
First of all, are you surprised by these observations? Have you been able to look at how we can in fact respond effectively to these? When we hear from the higher ranks, they basically tell us that things are reasonably very good, except that there are cracks in the system and obviously they need to be addressed. Are there specific recommendations that you would be making?
