At that time, if the committee requested, and if the chair was cooperative, as usual, we could ask the minister to come and talk about the report he's received, but we don't know when that's going to be. I suppose we could invite the minister to come and give us an update on the report, because he must get interim benchmark updates.
I do appreciate that instead of having terms of reference, one can work from a list of problems, and here our goal is to try to solve all of or as many of these problems as is reasonable in the circumstances.
If I have a few more moments left, Mr. Chair, I'd like to tag onto something my colleague Mr. Russell raised about our local legions. They acted, when they were first created going back to the First World War, as part of a buddy system, as a way to provide some social support to the traditional veterans. Can you describe the relationship, formal or informal, between the department and the Legion? I know there are a large number of veterans organizations, but the Legion sort of stands out as at least number one, I would say, in all of our ridings when it comes to the commemoration and the remembrance.
Is there any talk of working with the legions? As we always renew Veterans Affairs, or try to, I am sure they are looking for renewal as well. Have they changed their own demographics? Will they invite the next generation of veterans in? What is the relationship, and is there any thought to helping them stay strong or become stronger in the future?
