Thank you very much for that question. That's a great question. The answer is that legally on the ground, an officer of Canada, once he has soldiers who have been placed on active service, is allowed to make the most difficult decisions with their lives. We are asked to do things from time to time. If we're in a combat arms profession, it might be to go take that location away from the Taliban. Some of us are going to die, but we're going. That legislation forces us to go.
On the ground, that legislation doesn't change anything. The fact that we get 20% insurance and we're on special duty service is not of interest to the Taliban. They don't care that we're being paid less insurance. They don't care that there's what is basically a labour issue over how many rights and freedoms a Canadian soldier has on the ground. At the tip of the spear, where people are interacting with enemy combatants—which could be Rwandan genocidaires, Iraqi soldiers from the war, the Taliban or ISIS—the orders of the commander on the ground are expected to be followed, and we are expected to follow them.
There is no discernible difference in the labour from a legal perspective. We do exactly the same thing. You just pay us less in insurance when we get injured doing it.
