The next question I have is specific to my riding.
My riding is Cowichan—Malahat—Langford out on Vancouver Island. We are very much oriented toward the Royal Canadian Navy, especially in the south end. Many of my constituents are either full-time service members or civilians working at CFB Esquimalt.
I understand in your report why you needed to exclude new major capital expenditures, like the procurement of new military systems, but in my riding we know that the wait-list for service members and their families for military housing is close to 700 at CFB Esquimalt, and we know that, year after year with successive governments, they have kind of punted that critical maintenance and new building expenses to prioritize some of the mega-projects, like the F-35 procurement.
We have a lot of military personnel and their families suffering as a result. We have not had those increases made to those budgets, but I am wondering if you can tell us why the report does not include modelling for the increases to things like the Canadian Forces housing agency. Is that not something you could link to personnel costs? It's such a vital and important thing, especially for constituents of mine.
