Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Downes, you spoke about the incidence of mental health in the lesser ranks. Quite often within the military, pay and benefits are tied to rank, so you may find in fact that some of those in higher command positions may not necessarily come forward with issues of mental health because doing so could potentially impact their pay and benefits, or more importantly it could impact their potential for promotion. Are you suggesting that it's just in the lower ranks that we're seeing those issues of mental health? A lot of these commanders who are in positions of command were deployed at some point, perhaps in Afghanistan, and perhaps they're masking or not coming forward with any mental health issues because of that fear of a lack of promotion.
I'd like your comments on that, because it's something I picked up on when you said it earlier.
