Thank you Mr. Chairman.
First of all I would like to thank our witnesses for having come here to speak to us today.
This issue of transition to civilian life is very interesting. The Valcartier military base is located quite near where I live. I went to this base to meet with people a few times. Several times they mentioned the clear lack of resources for the military. What's more when they're released from service and they return to this military base to the places they know, it often happens that they cannot be relocated because they've become veterans and resources are hard to come by. This is what I was told by people on the military base. Also, as reported on the television show Enquête, there is a deplorable lack of human resources on military bases.
I would like to hear your comments about the lack of collaboration and coordination between the transition services programs offered by the Department of National Defence and Veterans Affairs Canada.
