Yes. I'm quite happy to respond. I met with Mr. Gollner in British Columbia in the spring--it was probably late April or May. I met with him and the then-president of their association, a gentlemen by the name of Mr. Dave Munro. Subsequent to that I met, on a multilateral basis, with veterans organizations here in Ottawa. That was in June. Mr. Gollner was at that meeting as well. My last discussion with Mr. Gollner took place about ten days ago. It was actually on the same day as they appeared before this committee. It was several hours earlier. As a matter of fact, we had to change the time of the meeting to be able to accommodate their coming to this committee.
At that point, I was not at the meeting. I participated by teleconference; I had a personal matter that required me to stay on Prince Edward Island that particular day. I did call in to the discussion and I was on the line for probably 10 to 15 minutes. At no time did we discuss any timeframes for the implementation of an ombudsman during that meeting.
