Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm glad it's not, as his colleague was talking about, an investigation, but rather you're back to the fact it is part of the review.
I would strongly urge that it be done, even if it's a widened appendage, as part of the charter review. We heard again from witnesses this morning who are very interested in this matter. They are part of the review process of the charter and they have a number of recommendations. I think we'd be very happy they did it. I'd really like to see it done as part of our charter review, even if it has a separate section in it, not as a separate one that we start months down the road, independent, because then we'd have to get DND involved and start all over again. We have a process in place now. We can expand it as much as we want.
I also want to point out, Mr. Chair, that the minister has already ordered a review within his department looking at the suicide rates and all that is behind it. That will be ongoing as part of the process. That started before this came forward, I should point out, so there will be work under way. Maybe we could even bring the department, if they want, as part of the process as well, but I'd strongly urge that we encapsulate it in part of the charter review, because we're hearing from all kinds of witnesses out there who take this charter review as the number one responsibility, and include this as one of the serious issues. I'd rather see it as part of that, within the charter review, and not set up as separate and independent.
I made that comment to Mr. André earlier, and I still feel strongly from this side that it would work better that way.
