Thank you for that question, Mr. Chair.
It's a very important issue for Veterans Affairs and, undoubtedly, for the Canadian Forces. What I might do is assure you that for reservists who have the type of service that you've categorized—service in Afghanistan—those folks do have access to all of the same benefits and programs as regular force members of the military have. They can access the new Veterans Charter programs. They're eligible for disability award compensation if they have service-related disabilities. They can access the various other program elements of the new Veterans Charter, such as rehabilitation and so on. For that group, it's a very similar process at the time of release and so on. Those are the class B reservists, with over 180 days of service, and the class C reservists. The ones whom we do have some challenges with at times may be the class A group with less than 180 days.
