I have two questions, and I'll start with my second one because it kind of ties into what Mr. Shipley was talking about.
Perry, Sean, Tom, thank you for coming out. It's nice to see you all again. I know you've done a lot of work. I read through this, and there has been a lot of thought go into it--not that there was any doubt in my mind initially--and it's nice to see it all packaged very well.
My question relates to the model that you see used. We've looked at different models from around the world. Australia has one that is all-encompassing. Germany has one. Britain has one that's independent. You're kind of leaning towards having an independent ombudsman strictly for Veterans Affairs.
I guess I'm just thinking out loud here, but would it make sense to have it be a division or a part of the CF ombudsman? I'm thinking that because some of the cases start while someone is in the military and then follow through to when the person retires or comes out of the forces. So that's one of my concerns. Would it not be better to have one? It would allow us to hit the road running, and it would allow for continuity.
It's a question; it's not a statement. I know you've put a lot more thought into this than any of us has, so I'm wondering what your thoughts are on something like that.
