Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
We have been studying this issue for several meetings now. Last Friday, in my riding, three very active veterans in the Laurentians said that it was fortunate that they had each other, because they were trying to save each other's skins.
People came to tell us that they supported thousands of organizations.
It is always the same message. The bureaucracy has become rigid. Once they have served their country, veterans are abandoned, and not only them but their spouses also.
Let's start at the beginning. When someone enlists, what happens? You are made to pledge allegiance, and you are trained to be excellent at your job.
That said, what are you told when you begin training?
