Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In the past we have done some great work and I'm certain we'll do great work in the future with the recommendations on our last report. The Prime Minister made a commitment to veterans that within a year he would deliver a bill of rights. While obviously wanting to hear from the committee, he also had a promise he had to deliver on.
We got off track studying things that were good, but the fact is that the steering committee, at the beginning, said that we were going to pursue the bill of rights. We got off track on PTSD, and that delayed our study of the bill of rights. The Prime Minister was required to deliver on his promise.
I don't think we should truncate the work we're doing here on the bill of rights. I think we should continue and then make recommendations, just as we did on our last report, and hopefully we'll have the same kind of agreement on the recommendations for this.
