I will attempt to answer your question first, sir, and then perhaps if I have missed something, Comrade Allard will take over.
In answer to your first question about the difference in attitudes of Mr. Chadderton's organization and the Royal Canadian Legion, I can only tell you that his organization was well represented at the meeting earlier today, as was ours, and we seem to be coming from very much the same places in a lot of ways. I think some of the misconceptions about an ombudsman have stemmed from, as I mentioned earlier, over the past, when you ask for an ombudsman, what do you want? We don't know what this ombudsman is going to do, and I think all of us have had a different conception of what an ombudsman would be. When we can get together and discuss these things openly, as we did earlier today, I think these things will all come together.
As far as what the Legion is doing for the community is concerned, as we have lost many of our traditional veterans, our workload in looking after them has become lighter, and I do believe most legions have indeed opened their doors in many ways. Our membership programs have certainly opened up to include almost anybody. As long as you are a Canadian citizen and of good character, you have eligibility to join the Legion.
