There's a way of doing that. When we produce a report, we give the system, the department and Canadian Forces, time to implement our recommendations. This particular report is our third follow-up. We started with 31 recommendations in 2002, and now we're down to six. As we move along we know there's some improvement. They amalgamate some recommendations, two into one, and we move along. We give them a year and a half or two, and then we do a follow-up to see how well they're doing. Sometimes they will tell us this is absolutely not going to happen.
We make recommendations. If we feel very strongly about it, we can escalate each one.
If your question means if I put in 10 recommendations and they agree to five of them, am I having a 50% batting average, it's very hard to say. I can't look at it that way because we make recommendations. We think it's the best way to address the fairness. We're advocates of fairness. At the end of the day everybody puts all of whatever they have in their hands, in their tools, to try to do the best they can also. If we feel strongly about something, we keep their feet to the fire by following up on it. This database, for instance, is something we keep following up on because we feel it's very important.
One of the particular concerns we have is that we were a bit afraid that the intensity of effort the CF and DND has put into PTSD and OSI would wind down because Afghanistan is winding down. There are financial realities now that people are striving to find money, and so on. We don't know the real impact of PTSD yet because it might appear in one, two, or three years down the road. You need to keep the focus on that and continue.
