Thank you very much, sir.
As the chief stated, we sat with tous les MFRCs across Canada for two days at a symposium in Toronto. We asked them what it was they needed us to do for them so that they could support their families. With those individuals, we have begun to develop a holistic approach. The chief and the leadership of the Canadian Forces will very shortly be receiving what we call a covenant--that is, the Canadian Forces' commitment to our families--that lays out very clearly what that is.
That will then lead us into an examination of several different areas that have been touched on here in some way. What do we do for our families when men and women are deployed? We think we do good; we could do better, as the chief said. What will we provide them to support in the housing area? What could we provide when it comes to medical support? If they have to go around the country and find doctors, what could we do?
So we're examining all of this in a holistic fashion. As the chief has provided, with his direction and guidance there will be an improved program for the beginning of next year. It's a program that will build on the strength of the program we have today and a program that will see us address all of these areas in a much broader way to better support the families. In January of next year, with all of the MFRCs from across the country, we will announce a new and improved program.
