I don't recognize any of those names. They could all be rookie MP's which could be a good thing, because they weren't around during the hyper partisan years, from either side of the aisle, so hopefully they can work together the way these committees are intended. no more boondoggles.

Neil Ellis was the Mayor of Belleville for 8 years (right beside CFB Trenton) prior to becoming the MP of Bay of Quinte.  I hope that his experience dealing with the military is not lost on him as he fulfills this roll.

Irene Mathyssn is NDP, she been at veteran rally's here in London, and was on stage with Pat Strogan a couples ago.

She isn't a rookie, but has been working with Peter Stoffer as well on last years committee.
