Mr. Chair, what I can tell you from a DND/CAF perspective is that we're implementing as per the legislation in place, which doesn't have wartime service enshrined in it. Therefore, we're using the legislation that we have, to great effect.
Let me be clear: The compensation, benefits and recognitions are state of the art for Canadian Armed Forces members. We have, through the Veterans Well-being Act, delegated authorities to our minister to be very responsive and adaptive, allowing him to approve special duty service and to launch Canadian Armed Forces forward when the world needs us.
Again, we're concerned about veterans as well—and let me be clear on this—but our focus and our policies are aimed at serving members.
