The whole question of the individuals who commit suicide, who are not able to adapt to life, in many cases post-Afghanistan, is very worrisome. While the ombudsman for the Department of National Defence has acknowledged that military families receive more support than ever, and it's been elevated to a top institutional priority, we all must continue to concern ourselves with these difficult and sometimes tragic incidents.
With respect to the two individuals who committed suicide, this is, needless to say, a tragedy. The Surgeon General is looking into this, and I anticipate the report on that as soon as possible. That being said, you and I and everyone here, of course, send out our sympathies and our prayers to the families of these individuals for what they suffer and will continue to suffer.
That being said, before becoming defence minister, I was supportive of the Joint Personnel Support Unit. I think these are steps in the right direction. We've almost doubled the number of health care personnel to work with the members of our armed forces. The increased budgetary commitments to health care and health care issues are all steps in the right direction. We don't want anybody to take their life, so we have to constantly look at these issues to ensure that every possible effort is made to give these individuals the health care support they need, and the support from the armed forces.
