As was mentioned, it's very important that the information is shared in a timely manner but that it's also accurate and reliable.
Back in 2012, most of the records that were being transferred were being done manually. They had an initiative to work on electronic data transfer, I'm not sure where that's at now. But the types of errors that we're talking about included things like the release dates and included even the type of veteran. Was it a member of the Canadian Forces? Was it a member of the reservists? These things affect eligibility of programs. They also talked about whether someone served in a special service area. Again, that may entitle someone to certain benefits.
We found 24% of the service numbers were actually in error back in 2012 in the databases.
