Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, absolutely.

Veterans Affairs committee  No, I do not agree with you. The employees were not kept well informed of the process.

Veterans Affairs committee  I am sorry, I forgot to turn my mic on. Could Mr. Casey please repeat his question? I'm not sure I understood.

Veterans Affairs committee  They are aware that a partner will be in place as of November 22nd, but they are unaware of the contract details. That is what is worrying. You are playing with numbers and percentages. It's easy to do a survey and give a percentage. I am telling you that we are aware that we will soon have a partner, but we do not know what will happen afterwards.

Veterans Affairs committee  Mr. Casey, the changes are not clear. We are not even aware of the impact that the contract will have on case managers. Even if employees answered “yes” in the survey, this means nothing. We do not know what the impact will be. I do not understand why you are asking this question.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. The new rehabilitation contract has been problematic from the beginning. Veterans Affairs Canada claims that case managers and the union have been consulted. That is false. We received a copy of the contract a few days before the contract was awarded.
