Mr. Speaker, I have had a number of conversations recently with some folks back home. We have a helicopter training facility there, as well as some veterans. Folks have said that the top-up on salary is appreciated, but their concern is about the cuts and what impact those could have on veterans' services.
Again, the idea of investing in our military is a very sound one, but there are structural, fundamental issues in the way we go about procuring things in this government and in this country, particularly when it comes to our armed forces. We need to be very mindful, not only of finding ways to improve outcomes, but also, in every way and every day, supporting and thanking those who served in uniform to protect our country.
