I have just one thing I'd like to add.
I'm not sure if the committee is aware, but out of the 40,000-plus Canadian Armed Forces members who served in Afghanistan, 25% of that total force was reservists from right across the country, coming from small towns and hamlets in the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta, right across the country.
You train those reservists alongside regular force members and you take them to Afghanistan for six or seven months, and side by side they do the job day in, day out, and get injured and then you bring them home. You're telling me—and this is what the government of the day is telling me—that we cannot give them any more than this pittance so that they can stay alive. That is sad. Now is the time to act, as Brad mentioned.
As I said earlier, we've listened to study after study after study. We've listened to recommendations that were supposed to have been put into place, but never happened. Now is the time to act to make sure that our men and women who are injured, who need our support, and who need the financial capability to keep their families together and to look after their kids, because a lot of these people have small children who are at the elementary stage. I'll tell you, we have enough families across the country outside of the military who are having trouble meeting their day-to-day needs. We shouldn't let our serving members do that. We have to look after them now. Please do that.
