Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have to leave and I don't have a question. I just want to state something for the record, since we're on the issue of the moral high ground here: my comments towards Veterans Affairs today and my questions weren't centred around the moral implications of this or in any reflect on my appreciation for those veterans, period. My comments are centred around my belief that Veterans Affairs has made a misdiagnosis of what the maximum levels should be, compared with the rest of the data from across the country indicates. The department is here today reflecting its belief that it's data on levels is correct, and I believe it's wrong.
It's not a judgment on veterans—period.
