On the subamendment, it is perfectly reasonable for the minister to appear based on her schedule. That would give her an opportunity to update us on what has been done since she took on this portfolio, how the work is progressing, and perhaps even what changes are being made to service delivery. We'll look into the date after we get back from the winter break, but it could be a good opportunity for us and the minister, so I agree.
This would also enable us to further investigate the issue of service delivery. Indeed, every testimony confirms that this is the crux of the matter. That will lead us to make recommendations regarding new care options for veterans, and the department will be able to make choices and decide whether it wants to improve service delivery. We will then have done our job.
In short, I am in favour of the subamendment. Unless someone tells me otherwise, I think it's appropriate for the minister to visit us as part of this study.
