Thank you.
Mr. Minister, to follow up on Ms. Gallant's questions regarding the care of ill and injured soldiers, we have a grave concern about the number of suicides occurring among soldiers who have been deployed and come back from deployment. We've had reports of two in the last couple of days.
We also have identified a problem with respect to the military's investigation of suicides. The latest figures show that 50 boards of inquiry, which are supposed to look into these matters to find out what happened, what lessons might be learned, and what things might need to be changed, are still outstanding, some as old as 2008.
Can you tell us why this is an issue and a problem, and why we aren't getting these reports?
We've got the Military Police Complaints Commission looking into one of them, and we're giving them more money here in these estimates, but we still have this serious problem that is tragic in the extreme.
