My time is running out. I have a question that you will not have time to answer, but I have an assignment for you.
You said that a strategic research plan is needed. The further things go, the clearer this seems. Studies are scattered. There is duplication and redundancy and all of this needs to be cleaned up.
Since you won't have time to answer my question, would it be possible for you to provide the committee with some semblance of a strategic plan?
What would such a plan entail? Could it involve research chairs, perhaps Veterans Affairs Canada, the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as different research groups that work on women's issues?
Would that be possible? It would not be to produce a doctoral thesis, but to throw out some ideas that might be relevant to the committee. We could then consider them and use them as recommendations in our report.
