Mr. Chair, I'm concerned with what's going on this morning. What are we doing here? We know this issue is important. This motion has been on the table for two or three weeks now. It's been here. I'm disappointed that there weren't discussions going on about possible amendments that would have achieved what everybody wants to achieve. Are we trying to deny it's a problem?
Let's get on with it. We know this is a problem. At the end of the day, we could do it in two years as part of the Veterans Charter and at the end of the Veterans Charter decide that we need a special study on this because it's a very important issue. We know it already. We don't need to wait another year to do more work to find out that it is.
As for the details on how we do it and the terms, I've been on this committee for more than a year or two. When we go forward to do a study, we don't have to have the terms of reference. It's the intent of this group to do this study and to report back to the House. It's pure and simple in front of us. Either we're supportive of it or we're not.
I'm concerned that the clock is running out. We have another motion that was put here that we didn't get to deal with, and we should have last week. I think we should deal with it. We have witnesses who are waiting to give us additional information on other things.
I think we should just get on with the vote. Either we're going to support this and then deal with the details at a subsequent meeting of a subcommittee, or not. I think to continue on we are not accomplishing anything more.
