I agree with you that you have to meet those terms, but the class action lawsuit was the minimum the government agreed to, and what we're hearing from those who served is that the service record thing is important—not the compensation, not the money, but recognizing their honourable service. I am going to continue to come back to you and ask you this. Probably the simplest way is to authorize the military ombudsman, once the other things are done, to revise those service records. You're going to hear from me again in the future.
One of the good things in these estimates is the extension of Canada's commitment to the enhanced forward presence in Latvia. I was privileged to be part of this committee when we visited the troops there. I want to relate that to our visit to New York, where the committee met with the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations and also UN missions associated with the Mali mission.
One of the things we heard there fairly consistently—I can't say from whom, because we were under the Chatham House Rule all the time—was that, now that Canada is there, we've taken the careful steps needed to get the mission up and running.
Will Canada consider staying a second year? One year is a fairly short deployment, given the effort we've made to get there, and it would mean some other country having to make a similar effort very soon to ramp up.
I'm asking whether you are actively considering extending our commitment to the Mali mission for another year.
