Madam Chair, I can only repeat what I have just said. Our intention is to continue to make important investments in expanding the services and growing the number of health care professionals, including mental health professionals, in the employment of the Department of National Defence. We will continue to rely on information that is provided to us by statisticians, by those who are tasked specifically, but we have made it a priority to ensure that front line health services continue to grow. That is our commitment. That is the decision we have taken based on much feedback from members of the Canadian Forces.
