Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Dr. Pringle, for joining us today.
Elliot Lake was mentioned. I'm the member of Parliament for the riding that includes Elliot Lake. You're right that thousands of Canadians have moved there. As we're being broadcast around the world on the web, more are invited to join us in Elliot Lake.
I want to add to my colleagues' comments in thanking the chair, the clerk, and the researcher for facilitating last night's excellent meeting.
Dr. Pringle, I think one of the challenges for our older veterans and the new and emerging veterans as they retire—one of the things they face to varying degrees—is the issue of red tape. It's not only the paperwork. It's the effect of the paperwork on their health. If the health issue is in the nature of a mental injury, I would say it has a more exaggerated impact versus an injury that is physical. But in either case, it would have a negative impact.
In your work, do you deal at all with ancillary issues such as processing veterans into and through the gateway and through the system? What's the impact on their general health and the frustration levels they may feel?
