Mr. Chair, I certainly acknowledge the excellent efforts the department makes towards our veterans.
Once again, my concern, for example, is the young trooper who served in Bosnia in 1994, who came back home and became a Calgary City police officer, but was troubled. His wife couldn't understand why he was troubled or what his problems were. He ended up taking his service revolver out to the back forty and blowing his brains out. She's suffering through that. Those are the people who consume my every day—weekends included.
So I don't want to detract from the good work the department is doing.
