Madam Chair, I would like to thank the hon. member for her moving words. It definitely puts into perspective everything we do here.
This is probably one of the most important aspects of what we do, the challenges that our men and women face. They face certain challenges. We train them physically, but the mental side is more challenging. I am working very closely with the associate minister, who is also the Minister of Veterans Affairs, on a strategy for mental health.
For the military personnel health care system there will be $696 million, but it is not the dollars that matter. It is the strategy that we will be creating and I will announce that as time goes on.
