On the resources, as you know, there was a story out of Petawawa the other day. There was quite a picture in the Globe and Mail, where they had a soldier in the background and his kid in the front. It said, ”If you die, I'll never forgive you.” And this is before he goes on the mission. I just can't imagine, as a soldier, preparing to leave on a mission and your child saying that to you. The strain and the mental anguish, before you even go, must be absolutely tremendous.
Of course, there was a discussion as to who should be responsible for the mental health of these children. Should it be the provincial government, which has the responsibility for the delivery of mental health services, or, because it's a military base, should not the federal government assist? I'm glad to see there was some arrangement made.
In your mind, who should take sole responsibility, instead of this political...?
The second question is around the media. Because we're embedded now over in Afghanistan, we're getting different media reports about what's happening over there. So it's conflicting, not only for politicians but for family members and friends, about what's happening.
What role can the government play in...I don't want to say influencing the media, but encouraging the media to understand that what they write and what they say has a direct influence on families and can have a direct influence on the men and women who serve?
