Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for coming forward today. I would particularly like to thank you for the self-sacrifice and dedication that your husbands, you yourselves, and your families have made for our country. Having family members who have served in Gagetown, I know the sacrifice it takes for not just the servicemen and servicewomen, but also the families helping.
This is troubling because, having had family serving there, I've obviously heard the stories and know much of what's happened, and I actually know many people who still live in Gagetown. But in dealing with this and in discussing it around the kitchen table, oftentimes what I've been told by my family members was that it's not so much the compensation amount, but the recognition of the wrongs that happened, the recognition of the problems that were discovered through this, and really, the generally appalling nature of what happened.
Is that the main, driving issue that you're looking to bring forward in this?
