In the context of the RCMP Veterans' Association, I think we've been very careful to stay in our lanes. The part of the thinking that will go towards the set-up of a collective bargaining agent that will satisfy the members and satisfy the Supreme Court of Canada is really not an issue that is of direct concern to veterans of the RCMP. Had it not been for clauses 40 and 42 we probably would not be sitting here today. We did not come forward with a brief, nor do we have someone from our membership to talk about how the collective bargaining regime should be set up, administered, and created through legislation. I would defer directly to the associations that are dealing with this issue to express the views that they see as being necessary. We'll be the veterans and we'll nod sagely and support them any way we can.
