As I mentioned in the presentation, this is the covenant we're making for our service in Canada. It's a covenant between the people, the government, and those that will volunteer. The documents and the legislation have to reflect that care. They did this in 1942 with all the measures they took for returning veterans. This is a new era. The 2006 new Veterans Charter entered a new era. It had many flaws. We're still working on the flaws. We believe this legislation should go forward. We've made a few changes here. We've asked the committee to support the small number of word changes, even that one where it says you develop a disease. When you google disease, you get 4,000 things, but they don't include PTSD; they don't include psychological disorders. That's why we've asked to have reference to physiological disease and psychological disease.
