Just to go back to your point on VRAB, as I indicated a few moments ago, sir, we made a comment in the Canadian Forces Advisory Council that we were not happy with the VRAB until we were educated a little bit. But some of us still took offence to the fact that they were political appointees.
We think it should be based on merit. Based on some of the decisions, and seeing the backgrounds of some of the people who have come out, I don't know how it's happening in the minister's office or at the senior level of VRAB, but there seems to have been an improvement on that selection.
If it's going to continue to be a VRAB appointment, so be it. We have to live with it. We've lived with it for years. If it's going to be a political appointment, once again, we're getting into an area that is really not my area of expertise, and that's how the ombudsman fits into the process in regard to a VRAB decision.
Is he going to have the authority to investigate that decision? I think there could be a case made for that, recognizing I think--and once again I'm out of my depth here--that there's a legal aspect associated with that.
Does that answer the question, sir?
