Mr. Chair, just before you hit the gavel, I have a point of order.
The individuals, the two folks in question, said something that I thought was quite incredible for this committee today--namely, whether or not the medical evidence was credible. We heard that there's only one, maybe two, on the board with any kind of medical experience. I didn't hear the word “doctor” there.
I'm wondering if it's at all possible for the director general to provide us with a list of the 24 names and their backgrounds. I find it rather incredible, and I'm sure your office has gone through this as well, that when you have two medical doctors, in a file for a veteran, sending it to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, and their medical evidence.... They're being questioned by people who have no medical practice.
I just find it a little bit incredible that they...and they actually admitted that; they said they have to question the credibility of the medical evidence. The only people who can do that are other doctors, in my opinion; but I'm not a doctor, so I don't know. It would be very helpful for the committee if we could get the list of all the names and their backgrounds. For myself, I just find it rather incredible that people with no medical background can question doctors' medical evidence.
