Mr. Speaker, with regard to the individuals who volunteered to engage in chemical testing, we allocated and gave to each of those members a lump sum payment. Furthermore, each and every one of those members and their families have access to the same pension benefits that they would receive regardless. They received a payment, and have complete and full access to the pension benefits and health care.

With respect to JTF2 and indeed all members, the key point to emphasize is that any member of the Canadian Forces should contact the Centre for the Support of Injured and Retired Members and theirFamilies, an institute that the government set up to ensure that no CF member would fall through the cracks.

We are committed to ensuring that all members, be they members of JTF2 or the Canadian Forces in general, have access to the pension benefits and health care they deserve. We are committed to ensuring they have full access. They should contact us at any time if they feel they are not receiving the care that they ought to be receiving.
