Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to join my colleagues and thank you all for your presence here this afternoon and for your great service.
Let's continue on with operational stress injury in general. Probably also associated with it, associated with stress in the workplace and not necessarily limited only to the RCMP, is perhaps substance abuse.
As a committee we travelled to several places in Canada, and we spoke with veterans of the Canadian armed forces. Most of them told us that if they had a problem, they would fear reporting it, because, as they bluntly put it, this would mean they were done. I suppose there's a similar fear at the RCMP.
Also you, or anybody in charge who's dealing with the issue, has to find a balanced solution that on the one hand helps the person, and that on the other hand does not endanger anybody if the decision you made, or someone made, is wrong.
It's an open question. Maybe you could elaborate a little bit on this.
