If I might add to that, Mr. Chairman, in the briefing we coincidentally had a few minutes before we arrived here, the SISIP problem the honourable member mentioned was brought up again. The Department of Veterans Affairs is finally getting the message we've been beating them over the head with for 18 months or longer. They know the problem is serious, because it was a serious problem before, and it has been compounded by the new Veterans Charter.
For your members' knowledge, we are the only armed forces in NATO in which serving members have to pay for their liability insurance. In fact, by doing so, when an individual is invalided out of the service and draws SISIP, that lets the public purse off the hook. The serving member in Afghanistan is paying for his coverage.
