Mr. Eugene Gargan:

Absolutely. We engaged fully with the commission. We were delighted with the response and the hearing we got. The vast majority of the commission members understood exactly where we were coming from and valued our input, but the also valued our potential as reservists. They understood the changing landscape of defence. That is why it is particularly sad for us to see that the impact of the report is fading, as I mentioned earlier. That is terrible. We have no issue with anything or with any of the recommendations. We do not dispute any of them at all. We were delighted to deal with it and to have the opportunity to make our submissions to the commission.

Senator Joe O'Reilly asked about the use of private hospitals. I will pass that question on to Mr. Richardson. After that, we will take the other four or five questions in sequence.
