One of the concerns that has been expressed by a couple of the witnesses who have been brought to this table is that they were in the midst of a CAF proceeding with regard to their grievances and felt that they were being taken on a bit of a merry-go-round ride. They were able to outline that quite well and I would agree with them, based on what they shared with us.
Basically, they were being held within the CAF so that they couldn't go to the commission, because the commission said they wouldn't hear their case until they had closed it with the CAF. It feels like there is perhaps a bit of a ploy taking place there, then, to keep members of the Canadian Armed Forces within the CAF, thus preventing them from being able to go and seek other assistance from the outside. Is that true?
