Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
General Cuppens, my questions are going to be for you.
That's with the greatest of respect, Colonel.
You indicate in your presentation that success in terms of getting changes to the regulations has eluded you. If you're not already aware of this, I think you'll be pleased to know that at least one party has taken up your cause on the floor of the House of Commons and in the Senate. On September 28 I questioned the minister on this very topic--you're aware of that--and again on the 29th. I just want to reference his answer to me on the 28th. When I challenged him on the discrepancy between funeral costs for serving members and funeral costs for veterans, one of the things he said in the last sentence of the answer was “We will continue working with the Last Post Fund and exploring other ways to provide quality services to our veterans.”
He gave that answer on September 28. Since September 28, what other ways to provide quality services to our veterans has the minister explored with you?
