Mr. Chairman, normally the veterans' bill of rights should have precedence over the charter. It should be based on the charter. Let me give you the example of aboriginal peoples. The United Nations adopted a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and subsequently, a charter was enacted. The charter drew its inspiration from the declaration. However, we are taking a reverse approach. We're drawing inspiration from the charter to draft a bill of rights. It's totally logical.
