We should be involved as early as possible in the transition process, because once the decision is made, there is a series.... I gave you some, but I didn't even talk about pastoral services. There are all kinds of other services available and sometimes it's not service related, but you can get these services there. As early as VAC can get involved in the transition of the individual and make the individual and the family aware of the services available, because people don't often.... That's why I handed out that document earlier. I think the clerk circulated it. There is a series of programs for mental health available to our veterans, and we very rarely hear about the programs.
The committee is studying suicide and studying mental health. It's proven—and I'm not a clinician—that the faster you can get them into treatment and get them help, the better your chances of success.
It's important that we get out to the Canadian public, to our veteran population, and that's why we gave it to the stakeholder groups, that here are the services available. It doesn't matter if you're service related or not. Yes, there may be a box that's more for the service-related injuries, but if your injury is not service related, here's a whole other series of services that VAC has out there that we'll pay for and you can have access to.
I think it's important that the Veterans Affairs organization, and the government as a whole, get that message out there, that the services are there.
Sorry, I'm passionate about that one because often—
