Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to echo what Mr. Storseth said. I believe that the Department of National Defence has an employee-employer relationship with Canada. It is part of their function to deal with the problems of people who are serving. I recognize that, but I support the amendment. This is a sensitive issue. If I were a member of the Canadian Forces, I wouldn't want to have it out there in public, politicized, and being covered by the media. I wouldn't want to bring any politics into it. I'd want to handle it with kid gloves.
I think we could deal with this in a full and discreet manner within the review of the new Veterans Charter. That is my feeling, and I'm going to support the amendment provided by our parliamentary secretary. We're looking at the care of these veterans, and we should be sensitive.
