Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I first want to correct an inaccuracy that Ms. Mathyssen from the NDP reported, I don't think deliberately, but it certainly was wrong, and that is that the $2 billion extension, first of all, does apply very much to modern vets and does apply to returning veterans; it's the criteria that counts. I think it's important to get that on the record here. That's the whole point. It was trying to top up and make sure that it's adequate compensation. I want to get that on the record.
The other thing, of course, is the timing. The minister is coming forward with the legislation and certainly that has to be passed in the House before this becomes active, so the timing is reflective of the passage of the legislation; it's not delivery timed for next year. I just wanted to correct that if I could.
I would like to follow up on the research that Mr. André referred to. I'm looking at recommendations 7, 8 and 9 in that area. When you say the capacity...and I would agree with you about the research. You mentioned universities, and there's a lot of interest there. Who do you see as the obvious partners that the department should turn to in order to try to get that kind of appropriate and active research?
