Thank you, Mr. Chair, and to our witnesses, thank you very much for being here. That was a great presentation, and Mr. Boissonneault, I appreciate hearing your personal experience. It ties in with where my questioning is going to go.
I recall one of my father's barns burned 30 plus years ago, and the local volunteer firefighters showed up and did a great job. I won't give all the details, but some of the cattle had been in the barn, they got out, and of course they weren't that good. One of the firefighters, an older businessman in the community, walked out at the end of that fire that day, and talking to him years after that, he said, “Larry, there are still times I smell burnt hair.”
I think it's that same thing you said you were feeling.
Here's my question. You talked about a data void. Is there any kind of data—this goes for you as well, Mr. Marks—out there? Obviously this situation I'm talking about happened before everybody even heard of PTSD. Is there any data that leads back to instances that firefighters, or any first responders, have had in previous years and are coming to light now?
