Thank you.
You may or may not be aware, but there's a group of veterans who are currently in a lawsuit. They suffer from mefloquine toxicity and are suing the Government of Canada. The Government of Canada is going to court with them. They are what I would call veterans who have been honourable, who have served this country honourably and they are clear-headed individuals from the point of view of knowing that something went dreadfully wrong in theatre, particularly in Somalia. We have a senator, an ex-general who ran the operation in Somalia, who says that we should never be giving mefloquine to our soldiers.
That's the lay of the land here. Something is going on, although it is trying to be discredited by the government, as you can see through their questioning here today that the science isn't quite up to the standard that they would like to see. However, the reality is that we have disabled soldiers, veterans, who are looking to the government to do something, such as Australia has done, such as the United States has moved towards. We had our military witnesses here, and they also said, similar to Dr. Libman's testimony here today, that they are not totally convinced, so it still is an option for our troops.
I suppose that I just would like your reaction to those comments.
Dr. Croft, please.
