Further to what Bev was saying, I would say that the hospital in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is the only one where we will feel at home, so to speak. It is a Canadian hospital, and we are Canadian members of Parliament. In the other hospitals, we would almost be viewed as visitors coming to see a patient.
In Gagetown, New Brunswick, there is a problem having to do with Agent Orange. Why not go to a hospital located close by? We should see how the veterans are being treated and find out whether those who say they have problems related to Agent Orange or Agent Purple are getting the care they need.
In addition, I am really very surprised to hear that some hospitals in northern and southern Ontario have about 100 beds available. Where are these hospitals? Are there any in Kirkland Lake, New Liskeard, North Bay and South Temiscamingue?
I know, Michel, that you cannot give us an answer, because the list is put out by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is incomplete in that it does not state which hospitals are specialized in psychiatric care, for example. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric problem. So even before we organize a visit to hospitals, we must know where the largest groups of veterans in hospital or receiving care are located, and the specialty of the various hospital. Tests have been carried out in Gagetown or another place in Nova Scotia. It would be a good idea to visit hospitals in the surrounding area to try to find out whether the people who claim they were poisoned by the gas in Gagetown are telling the truth.
