Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of our witnesses. I particularly want to thank Dr. Breeck and Senator Patterson for their service to Canada as part of our defence medical teams.
Senator Patterson, you talked about how things are paid for in the Canadian Armed Forces health care. We have universality of service that all of our troops have to meet, yet they don't meet universal health care.
Should part of the Canada health transfer be paid to the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces or should the provincial health agencies quit charging our troops when they have to visit a provincial health facility?
