Thank you.
I want to thank all the witnesses for coming here today. I really appreciated their remarks. I also agree with their recommendations.
Mr. Jenkins, you piqued my curiosity when you talked about your meeting with the Minister of Veterans Affairs regarding Ste. Anne's Hospital.
We are actually very concerned about long-term health care. The new veterans charter does not really mention that issue, although it is very important.
The beds at Ste. Anne's Hospital are becoming available every year because people are getting older. In addition, fewer modern veterans go to the hospital because they need long-term care and a bit of time off. Ste. Anne's Hospital could be used to provide them with that, especially as we have noticed that it has a waiting list.
Did you discuss that with Minister Blaney?
