National Defence committee  I'll just correct one thing. In 2006, the explosion wasn't voluntary.

National Defence committee  In 2009, I did retire. I had a choice of medical release or retirement, and it meant no difference in the care I was about to receive because I was valued at—I don't know—130% disability or some silly thing. It would change nothing, so I just decided to retire. I did that mainly because it gave me a sense of worth, in that it was my choice to leave, not anyone else's.

National Defence committee  Thank you. I'm going to read a bit here. I've been to the Senate hearings, and we've talked to senators before. We've done a lot of work with the care of the wounded and injured and ill, and of course the point is to make things better and to have ideas for the future. When I came here last time, we talked of the care of the injured and the ill.
