Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
You would probably be the best person to answer my question, Ms. Jaeger. I see that you are in charge of liaison for discussions with other NATO countries. I imagine that you examine treatment protocols and so forth before developing policies. What is of particular interest to me is the relationship between you, the Department of National Defence, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am thinking in particular of those soldiers who find themselves withdrawn from active service. Some soldiers have to leave the armed forces because of physical or mental health problems. As I understand it, the Department of National Defence ceases to have anything to do with these soldiers from the moment that they are withdrawn. Their files are handed over to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
