When I'm asked by people who visit my office for the service of an ombudsman, that there be that position, it is because they don't necessarily find the satisfaction or the answer that they want and they would like an independent review. I find that to be a good idea. An independent review to see if things had been missed in their case might not be a bad idea, and I'm pleased that you're having discussions with the Department of Veterans Affairs as to how you would do that.
I think we're getting low on time, but I have one question and I'd be remiss if I did not put it to you.
In rural Nova Scotia, and rural Canada generally, the role played by the Royal Canadian Legion goes beyond service to legionnaires. The Legion has played a huge role of service to communities. We're seeing a period of time when the operation and maintenance of these legions is questioned, in many instances, where the local legions are having a lot of financial trouble, a lot of trouble continuing.
I'm wondering what kind of role you're playing, your organization nationally, to respond to these problems, and do you see a role for the Government of Canada in assisting these legions that may be in difficulty?
