Mr. Speaker, I listened very carefully to that speech. It is great the way the member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke does not pull punches. We all know how she feels, and I really find that refreshing in the House. As the member said in her speech, she represents the largest base in the country. I think she would know better than anyone in this place how the housing costs affect the morale of the forces and how it is a factor in the crisis of recruitment and retention, which has been identified from the chief of the defence staff on down as the most important crisis facing the forces. Can the member talk about this from her experience representing the people so affected by these things, such as the rent increase we are talking about?
