Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Through you, I'd like to thank the witnesses for appearing today.
My first set of questions will be to General Millar, and they have to do with the universality of service policy.
Both individually and collectively at this committee we've some concerns with regard to the policy. I wonder if you could succinctly outline what the policy is, why it is in place, if you feel it is effective, and whether you feel it would be detrimental if it were not in place.
As well, perhaps you would address some of the issues with regard to members who are suffering from a visible and non-visible injury as they attempt to meet, after the injury, the universality of service model, and why we're hearing that there seems to be a disconnect between what we hear from the senior chain of command and what's actually happening in the field.
Could you address that, please?
