Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you all for being here.
Over the last however many months we've been doing this, we've heard from a lot of people: soldiers, families. That has been in camera, so we can't share details, but suffice it to say we've heard a variety of stories, most of them critical, which is probably to be expected. Those are the kinds of stories that would be attracted to a committee like this. We've also heard stories of successes, challenges being met, and so on.
We've talked about the reserve care report, which had some pretty stark recommendations, as was mentioned. The Auditor General put out a report a few months before that, which had some recommendations but was also more complimentary. Now, of course, that was focused on the regular force, not the reserve force, so there's an obvious difference there, and that's where we come to today.
Again, as was pointed out, this report has only been out for two months, so it's probably a bit early to report on actual accomplishments. But I was encouraged to hear your statements, General Tabbernor, about your assessment of General Semianiw, who obviously is going to be taking it very seriously.
Is it safe to say, just with the way the regular force operates and the reserve force operates, that we'll probably—and this isn't to say it's right—always be playing a little bit of catch-up with the reserves relative to the way the regular force is treated in areas such as health care? Again, not justifying it, but is that a reality of some of the way we...?
