Thank you, Chair.
Colonel, I appreciate your heartfelt comments. Since my first day of being elected I've been a tireless champion for those who serve our community and for those who serve our country. The passage of my Bill C-211 and our subsequent work has been both a blessing but also a curse, I feel, because our office has been inundated with messages such as yours. So I really appreciate your testimony today.
Colonel, in your opinion, should mental injury be seen in parity with physical injury?
