Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to Mary, Glynne, Greg, Richard and Mary for being here today.
I would just say to my colleagues—and I think I've heard this today—that if the system isn't working and we're going backwards, shovelling a whole bunch of money at something is not going to fix the problem. I think that's what I've heard today. I listen on other calls. I keep hearing about the call centres and the red tape. Nothing is seamless. Those are all very concerning things for me.
Glynne, I have a Silver Cross mother working for me. She lost her son in 2010. Before I came on committee today, she brought me this picture of her son, Brian. We were picking out T-shirts for a ball tournament, which we're so hopeful is going to happen this summer, to raise money for veterans.
She had a breakdown when we discussed this, and she said, “Scot, I need help sometimes, and there is no help for families, for children.” It's her son who made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada, and they've been left behind.
Could you comment on the gaps that exist for the families of Canadian Forces members who have been killed in action, Glynne?
