I have two quick questions.
I think the next time we visit, Lieutenant-Colonel, we should do it at the Heidelberg Café in Heidelberg, Germany. It's a very beautiful place. You could always bring beer next time for after the meeting.
Okay, I have two questions.
In Canada, one thing that I think all of us are very proud of is the set-up of what we call the military family resource centres. There are 34 of them across the country. They're generally attached to bases and organizations that we have. When troops go overseas, the families have an area or an outlet to go to so they can bond together, work together, and share their experiences.
My first question is, do they have those types of facilities in Germany? If they do, does the government assist them in any financial way?
The second question I have is about your pension. In Canada for the military member whose wife dies before he's 60 years old, if he remarries before 60 years old, lives for 20 years and dies, then his second wife would get his pension. But if he remarries after 60 and then dies later on, his second wife is entitled to no pension at all. Do you have that concern in your country as well?
