Mr. Burke, you mentioned the idea of turning DND and VAC into one department. I wouldn't fundamentally argue with that, but you mentioned your suggestion of having veterans, qualified people, at the bases to deal with.... I'll pick Cold Lake as an example. You have a bunch of veterans in the area, and you obviously have military serving folks. For the folks who would be servicing the veterans side of it, are they civilians or are they military in a unified Department of National Defence?
