Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our witnesses today. Thank you for joining us.
I'd like to shift the focus a little bit to information flow and talk about some of the causes of the delays that are inherent in the process. I'll start with Mr. Berthelette, and then, Mr. Doiron, perhaps you could offer a few thoughts of your own.
Mr. Berthelette, you identified in the audit report delays in the disability program. I wonder if you would be able to confirm whether the primary cause of that delay is the transfer of records from National Defence and CAF to Archives Canada and Veterans Affairs. It is my understanding that this process could take up to nine weeks. I understand privacy and the Privacy Act, etc., but I wonder if you could talk about some of those delays and how they impact the process.
