Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to table, in both official languages, the report of the Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs dealing with the quality of life of our personnel in the Canadian forces.
This report is entitled “Moving Forward: A Strategic Plan for Quality of Life Improvements in the Canadian Forces”.
I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to all the members of our committee for their hard work and co-operation throughout this long and intensive study.
To the committee clerk, researchers and various staff who contributed directly or indirectly to this report, may I as chair on behalf of the whole committee and all my colleagues express our sincere thanks.
Our committee looks forward eagerly to the earliest possible implementation of our recommendations so that we can indeed improve the quality of life of our Canadian forces personnel and their families.
