Mr. Stogran, I would like to come back to the issue of the chain of command. This is a question I have asked several times in the past. I wonder if there are not some sort of budgetary temptations. The chain of command is very aware of that.
National Defense has a budget to deal with. Releasing soldiers as veterans does not mean that they are being abandoned. The chain of command knows that the Department of Veterans Affairs will provide support to soldiers who are in dire situations. Generals or unit commanders have budgets to deal with. Is it not tempting for National Defence to try and save money by saying that they cannot keep those soldiers anymore and that, in the future, they will be dealt with by Veterans Affairs? Could that be a factor?
