Veterans Affairs committee  Are you asking what you, as a committee...?

Veterans Affairs committee  I don't know. I think you are doing the best you can, as far as I can see, in having witnesses from the various organizations appear here to have a full, in-depth hearing. Look at me. The Canadian Peacekeeping Veterans Association is not a key player in this specific issue--and a

Veterans Affairs committee  Clearly, yes. I have had some experience with contact with the centre. There's a military person, Major Gilles Paquette, who runs the CF side of it. I have spoken with him, and I think it's an ideal type of interface organization.

I don't understand exactly where you're going with this line of questioning. I think everybody recognizes there are different kinds of operations, depending on the situation and what

Veterans Affairs committee  I think war services has different legislation completely from the peace force. I am not sure exactly what the differences are. I know the peacekeeping veterans have access to various services, depending on the circumstances of their injuries and what they relate to. But I don't

Veterans Affairs committee  I think that describes VIP in a sense.

Veterans Affairs committee  I served in Germany with NATO and I served in the Middle East. UNEF (2) was my specific mission, but I've been to every one of the other ones that existed in the 1970s, and also to Cyprus, but not long enough to have earned the medal.
