Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses today for sharing these tragic and powerful stories. They're very powerful stories. It shows that a lot of work needs to be done. There are certainly some failures that have taken place in how we're dealing with our armed forces personnel.
Maybe all of you can answer this. With a member, it's critical that the whole family is involved in how they recover and what's going on in their lives. Can you talk about your communications and your relationships? Are the armed forces reaching out to the whole family—to the spouses, to the brothers and sisters, to the children, grandparents and parents? Are they bringing them in, helping them, providing information and encouraging them to be part of the solution to observe, to talk, to relate and all that stuff? What kind of relationship is there between the whole family and the armed forces?
A lot of times, the armed forces hide behind this idea of privacy. They can't share information. That can be a detrimental thing. Should that be changed so that they can give more information out and bring more family members in to deal with this? I'd just like to hear your thoughts on that.
All three of you can answer.
