Thank you.
One thing that's always tremendously frustrating for me—and I hear this all the time in my riding with service men and women—is the comments that are made about the lack of proper documentation, the bureaucratic nightmare. Quite frankly, when you're serving, when you're out on the back of a half-ton or you're out on the range, you're not going to sit down and do all the proper paperwork because you sprained your knee or hurt your back.
I mean, it drives me crazy that you're put in such a rigorous, intensive job, and the bureaucrats have such a high level of demand for our soldiers when it comes to reporting injuries and having it all properly assessed.
This leads me to a question on something you've brought up a few times today. Do you believe the men and women of our Canadian Forces would be better served if at least some of the front-line workers with Veterans Affairs were former CF members and had a better idea of the mentality and some of the things you've gone through as a Canadian Forces member?
