Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for that presentation. Thank you for your service. Thank you to your husband for his service. Quite often we have witnesses come before us whom someone intimidated. It's clear that's not the case with you. You're very passionate about what you do, and you made an excellent presentation, so thank you for that.
I normally ask questions about remote ridings and remote areas. You touched on one in your examples, and I'll get to that in a minute. There was a very interesting article in the Edmonton Journal by a lady who has presented here before. I'm not sure if it was in person or over the phone, but it was by Norah Keating. She talked a lot about the issues that the family has to deal with.
Can you just give us some kind of insight? We know that often those who come back have traumatic injuries. There are people who have lost limbs, who have lost the use of parts of their body. This is not just starting; we've been aware of the impact on the families for quite a while. In your profession, how do you deal with some of the stresses, which we can't even begin to think of, on the spouse, on the children, on the extended family, first of all in areas that have services, such as some of those you have mentioned, and then in areas that don't have services, such as northern Manitoba?
