What I'm getting at is that, yes, we have to do everything we can for our Canadian Forces members. However, we can't even provide the minimum to the civilian population. Is it possible to strike a balance between the services you are asking to be provided for the military and those for civilians? I'll just come back to what my friend Mr. Valley said, namely that it's very difficult to find professionals in isolated areas. In the remote areas of Abitibi, where I come from, it is extremely difficult to find a doctor, a nurse or a therapist.
