Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Yes, I will be sharing my time with Mr. Doherty.
General Eyre, welcome. Greetings from Medicine Hat. I know you've spent some time here.
I have two questions for you, sir.
I recently received an email from a retired member of the armed forces that noted he and 300 other crew members were deployed and they didn't receive their at-risk pay when they were deployed because the paperwork wasn't done on time. After returning, they were told their back pay was tied up with other pay adjustments, and it would be between three and 10 years before it was resolved.
This individual has left already. Many will be leaving and, no doubt, they'll be leaving in part because of these issues.
Who's going to check that everyone gets paid the right amount in this debacle? All I'm asking of you, sir, is if you will commit to resolving the at-risk pay and back pay issues within the next six months.
