Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I want to look briefly, first of all, at chapter 4, dealing with military health care. It's somewhat disappointing to me to see the narrow scope you took with this, although maybe it's much broader than what the report here would indicate.
When you determine the scope and your approach to it, you commit so much money to it. What did this chapter 4 cost? What did it cost you to do it? I guess that would be the first question.
Second, why is the scope so narrow? For example, with the regular force and the reservists, did it include both groups in terms of the $500 million spent by the Canadian Forces on health care? And who determines the scope?
We met with a number of people in the military this summer, and we heard major concerns with the military and health care.
In your work, Mr. McRoberts, you headed this group, correct? Did you, in meeting with military personnel, find any great concerns?
If I were stationed with my family at Camp Petawawa, for example, or Camp Gagetown, and I had a spouse and three children, would that be part of the discussions that you would have had with the military personnel in determining their impression of how well or how badly they are treated in terms of health care?
