Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll pick up where Mr. Tolmie left off with Ms. Laverdure. I don't have any questions, but I would like to make a comment, if I may.
Ms. Laverdure, I'm the member of Parliament for Charlottetown, and I'm a member of the Liberal Party. The facts presented by Mr. Desilets are not at all acceptable. I admire your work, and as the Liberal member of Parliament for Charlottetown, I'm committed to addressing this issue and bringing pressure to bear. This is not at all acceptable.
Thank you for your testimony.
I want to concentrate most of my questions to you, Ms. Douglas. Part of the reason for that is my personal interest. I was a litigator in a previous life.
You started with the fact that you launched a case against the government in or about 1992, a case that resulted in a change in government practice in 1992, and now you find yourself in a spot that was created as a result of class action litigation related to veterans.
I'm interested to hear a bit more about the story. Can you talk a bit about the 1992 litigation, please?
