I was mentioning to Madam Hinton earlier an article in The Hill Times today written by the Minister of Veterans Affairs about the veterans ombudsman and the new veterans bill of rights that they're proposing, which I think is a good thing. Do you know offhand when the minister will be able to appear before us to elaborate a bit more on his article? Also, you could sort of pick his brain a bit for what type of advice he would be seeking from us. I know estimates are coming, and he'll be in on that, but will he be able to come on that issue alone? I know those are two issues that he and the parliamentary secretary have raised, and it could probably take up a lot of his time just in his presentation and our questions to him.
