I wonder if I could invite you to speculate, as past long-term serving members of the force, and to engage with a view on the exclusions, even though it is not the issue of veterans.
I have served alongside former and serving RCMP officers in the Middle East. If I put to you the proposition that—given that the RCMP is a paramilitary organization in many of its operational aspects and that you act like a military force in many respects—deployment should not be part of an exclusion, but is a management prerogative and not something that is subject to bargaining, speculatively, how do you feel your membership would react to that proposition?
