Thank you, Madam Chair.
Witnesses, thank you for the high quality of your testimonies, which will enable us to draw a lot of recommendations.
Madam Chair, since I really don't have much time, I'd like us to now debate the motion that I put on notice on March 23. It concerns a very important matter—like this one, in fact—that we have held a number of meetings on. We have received a lot of emails.
Last Friday, I was at Ste. Anne's Hospital, where I spoke with a former EX3 from the forces who had to wait three years to receive care. He told me that he had to live in his car, even though he was married and had children. We really need to hear more to know what's going on. It's like a coin. There are three sides: the front and the back, but also the thickness, and I don't think we have gotten there yet.
I hope this doesn't turn into a partisan sparring match. This is for the good of our veterans. The goal is not to throw out the baby with the bathwater, but to shed light on this in a respectful way, to help our veterans, to be on the right track and to course correct if necessary.
