The universality of service is archaic. It's based probably in World War I, where you had to go out there and walk around with a cannon. Some of the skill sets that are available through these people.... Again, I look at what's going on with our aboriginal communities. There are engineers, combat engineers, water purification specialists. They have all sorts of people who could be up there and volunteer happily to go, and use them in a non-combat means with all those skills and experience to help Canadians.
