Okay, so he's a current serving member. So is this one of the people we should be referring to the defence committee? We're muddying up that line again.
I'm one of the original members of this committee, as are Mr. Perron and Mr. Stoffer. Without sounding too difficult, I hope, we fought long and hard to have the veterans affairs committee as a stand-alone committee. Every time we mix defence and veterans affairs, we undermine what we spent years achieving.
So if this gentleman has something valuable to contribute and he's a serving member, I think it goes back to what I said earlier in the meeting. Perhaps this is a man we should recommend that the defence committee speak to, because we're doing that muddy line thing again.
The other comment I want to make is in regard to this Lieutenant-Colonel Dave Grossman. My understanding from what's written in front of me is that he is a member of the U.S. Army, which has nothing to do with Canada. So I'm wondering why we're mixing up U.S. politics, U.S. military with Canadian military.
