Thank you, gentlemen, for attending, and more importantly for your service to the nation. Through you, our thanks also to the people you represent: the many thousands of Canadians who have served in the force. We're proud of what the force is doing. We recognize its unique character. I think it goes without saying that all of us collectively here in Parliament, in government, and Canadians across the country owe you a sacred obligation to keep you as healthy as possible, as safe as possible, and to take care of you when you return from service and go toward retirement.
I want to ask you in the brief time that I have about how you keep in touch with your membership. Is there anything you can tell the committee about surveys you're doing and how you're polling views among your members? It might also be helpful to see if there are any disparities in views on some of the issues that were before the committee in this session and potentially also in the previous session.
