I'll take that under advisement. I will be talking to Senate security and House of Commons security about this particular person to find out what the exact background is and to determine the best way forward.
With that, I want to move on. We are continuing our study on the care of our ill and injured Canadian Forces members.
We're glad to have with us today, from the Department of National Defence, Rear-Admiral Andrew Smith, chief of military personnel and co-chair of the DND and veterans affairs joint steering committee. Accompanying him is Colonel Gerry Blais, director of the casualty support management and joint personnel support unit. Welcome, gentlemen.
Admiral, you have the floor. If you could keep your comments to under 10 minutes, we'd appreciate it.
