Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  No.

Veterans Affairs committee  I guess, because I don't really know either. This is all kind of new to me too. All I know is what I've tried to research and tried to get help with.

Veterans Affairs committee  I would actually love to be totally involved with anything that's like TAPS. I think my kids would be overjoyed if we did have something like that in Saskatchewan.
