I want to begin by thanking you for your service. When we are elected as MPs for the first time, we are surprised to see Canadian Forces' veterans and former members of the RCMP at our constituency offices. We are also shocked to see how cruel the system can sometimes be toward those people. We expect our veterans to be treated better by all government authorities. I am not saying that to criticize the government; I am simply talking about how the system works.
Mr. Gidley, you talked about the overly legalistic approach. As confirmed by certain officers that have dealt with the tribunal, that court is more intimidating than criminal courts. I find that very alarming.
Could you tell us more about how that process can intimidate people and how it could be enhanced to provide better service to former RCMP members?
