Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Senator Dallaire, again, it's an honour to be in the presence of a fellow Dutchman. Thank you very much.
You mentioned the Legion. The Legion in Richmond, B.C., had a round table. Some people called it the liar's table. In order to be at that round table you had to have been a serving veteran in World War I, World War II, or Korea, but you had to be of a certain type. Not everyone was invited to sit at the table. In order to be at that table you had to be invited. There were only eight chairs. I remember one day I brought my dad in there; he was invited because he was liberated by the Canadians. I'll never forget the honour of that day.
You're right about the laughter, the joy. They would complain about politics, sports, and everything, but on Remembrance Day it was a different story; then the tears started to fall.
I think that's what the Legion was able to do. In the absence of government assistance, either provincially or federally, they went to their mates. They went to their friends. When they went home that night, they could have a peaceful Sunday. I thank you for bringing that up, because it's so important for veterans and their families to have someone they can relate to.
My question, first of all, is on the reservists. We have discussed here before that reservists, when they get back, go to their normal workplace, and people in their workplace may not or cannot have an understanding of what they went through. What should we do as a government, or anybody, to ensure that those employers understand what the reservists have gone through, and how can we assist the employer in recognizing changes in mood or temperament of that particular employee, so that they in turn can get the assistance they require to assist their employees?
