No, Chair. I'm speaking directly to the motion at hand. I was just getting to the point of why that affects military recruitment, which is what we're talking about.
Those things and the ability to take action, actual action, are exactly what affect military recruitment. I thank the Liberal member for highlighting that his government is doing nothing to take action on the things the government is studying. That's what is having an impact on military recruitment.
I don't understand how they can sit here and listen to some of the stories we've heard from women over the last number of months about the traumatic experiences they've had and about the impacts that the policies of the Canadian Armed Forces, DND and Veterans Affairs have had on their service and their lives post-service.... How could anyone sit here and say they heard that, but think it's good enough that we did a report that will sit on a shelf and gather dust? How can anyone have heard what they heard here and feel like that's enough?
Action is required, and without action, it makes for a situation where those who have served this country feel like they're not being served by their government. They're not being served by their government, period. It's not that they feel that way. It's that they're not being served by the Liberal government. Then you wonder why those who have served this country, as I mentioned a few minutes ago, when asked whether they would recommend their own children to serve as they served, far too often say, understandably and regrettably—they express this regret themselves—that they really don't feel they could recommend that to their own children because of the way they see veterans being treated.
That extends to this committee, frankly. The majority of the members of this committee are culpable of that. They have brought studies forward that had reports and then have accepted that their own government did not take action on those things. I got into public service because I wanted to make a difference, because I wanted to see action, and we're not seeing that from this Liberal government. We see lip service and photo ops, but we don't see any action.
There were a lot of really good recommendations in the study we just did on the experience of women veterans. There have been incredibly good recommendations in a number of studies we've done, as in the studies on homelessness. Another example is the study we did on the transition to civilian life, which we just completed. It was only a three-meeting study because—
