I represent a riding just on the edge of the Edmonton garrison, Edmonton—St. Albert. There's a hospital in St. Albert, which a number of years ago had doctors and nurses from the military working in it to ensure that they had experience, because there were no wartime problems at that time. Now things are different. In your hospital service, are you able to engage the doctors to provide the assistance that our military personnel coming back with wounds require? We hear of so many people going to Germany, to the American hospital there, as a first line from Afghanistan, and then coming back here. Do we have the skills within the armed forces to provide what they need?
