Mr. Harris, you have referred to certain statistics. I've told you we do have a process currently in place that has met many of the concerns that were expressed by you. You are not the adjudicator of these particular cases, to assess what is fair and what isn't fair. I'd suggest there are people who have looked at all of these cases. There are also appeal processes to go back and examine them again.
We're looking at the process and taking recommendations from people like the military ombudsman. We have in fact instituted a new process where the Chief of the Defence Staff can now insert himself into some of these grievances with respect to financial compensation. We're continuing to make progress.
I'm hopeful that this committee will allow this bill to proceed and will also look at further recommendations from Mr. Justice LeSage in the hopes of making further improvements for members of the military and their families.
