Okay, thank you.
I want to move on to Ms. McIntyre.
Recently there's been one private member's bill and one other motion put on the floor of the House of Commons. The first one, the private member's bill, is to recognize a sacred covenant between Canadians, not just the Government of Canada but all Canadians and those who have served us in military life. This is as much to follow the European example of the British Parliament passing such a covenant within legislation.
I don't want to pull you into a political argument here. That is not my intent. However, the one thing that struck me between the eyes in your comments today was that you used three words: “care, compassion and respect”. I would think that characterizes most members of Parliament who spend any time around veterans and veterans' families, as many of us do across the country. When you boil down some of the issues they're facing, it boils down to respect. They would like to have the respect and know that.... That's what the British Parliament did. It enshrined it. That's what a private member was trying to do on the floor of the House of Commons.
My question is this. In your work, through families that you've described today and through veterans, how important are those three words?
