First, let's talk about the issue of Ste. Anne's Hospital. I would expect that at the end of the day it would be no different from the other arrangements we have across the country, such as Maison Paul-Triquet in Quebec City, and the Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre here.
In terms of guaranteeing access and the quality of service to veterans, it is a contractual arrangement. In addition to that, we do annual reviews of the contract, plus we have nurses who go in from time to time to ensure the quality of care, plus we have surveyors who go in to talk to the veteran or the veteran's family. So it's not just about saying, “over to you”, but it's “over to you with these conditions”.
I think veterans have been well served by places across the country such as Maison Paul-Triquet, Sunnybrook, Perley and Rideau, and the George Derby Centre.
