Thank you again, Mr. Griffis, for coming. I've had the pleasure of being here when you've made I think more than one presentation to us. Just so you know, Ms. Hinton is not here. She's home with some medical issues, so I will pass on to her the comments you've made today.
I also want to welcome the young people who have come in. I think we can never stress enough the importance of what Veterans Affairs are doing--not of what we're doing, but what our veterans have done for our great country of Canada. Any opportunity we have to raise that recognition to our young people, we should do. I appreciate their coming in today.
Mr. Griffis, earlier on you talked about communications. Many times, in many areas, communication seems to be one of the barriers that we come up against. It happens in here, it happens with veterans, it happens in our family, and it happens in our business, where direct communications and clarity of communications to help people are sometimes hard to get across.
When we're talking of the 220,000 veterans who are there now, we know that some of those veterans likely have heard the communications, especially our traditional veterans who have a mindset, as we heard about the other day, as an example, that they don't want to take a service for free. When they're feeling they don't need the service, they don't always pay much attention to that. I think we're likely all a little guilty of that. When we're feeling good about something, we may read the notices, but if it doesn't necessarily affect us, we don't pay much attention to it.
You had mentioned that you sent out, in terms of communication, a magazine called Salute! . I'm wondering whether that gets to all the 220,000. Or is that going to the peacekeepers?
