Right. I want to talk about transition services as well, because this budget spoke about transition availability for spouses and common-law partners.
Mr. Bedard, this is for you.
There have been 10 parliamentary studies done, the latest in 2016 by the veterans affairs committee, with strong recommendations on how we can ease the transition of medically released service members into transition life. The DND ombudsman did a report. The veterans ombudsman did a report. In fact the veterans affairs committee report was endorsed and supported by the DND and the veterans ombudsmen.
Now there's a new study going on, by Shaping Purpose. Granted, the government is not paying for this, but there is some suspicion that it is going to punt the issue of these recommendations down the road so that the government doesn't have to commit to it at this point, in spite of the platitudes and the niceties and all that stuff.
Are you concerned about this new study; that we're not actually going to be able to help our veterans transition properly and that they're just punting it down the road?
