Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Stoffer makes part of my point for me. Mr. Oliphant brings up Afghanistan. Those are current serving members. I do believe that the Department of National Defence is outside the purview of our committee.
There are two points to this. I do believe that this is something that should be included within our review of the charter, because it's a very important aspect of veterans. If, however, the committee felt that it truly wanted to do justice to this issue, which is a very important issue, in regard to both former and current serving members of both DND and the RCMP, then I actually think you would need to expand the scope of it and include some kind of a joint committee to look at this with the Department of National Defence, because there's no way that it is within our purview to be looking at the things within DND itself. So you would need support from the other committee as well, I believe, if you were going to do it properly. Leaving out our current serving members would do little good, I believe.
