First and foremost, for every suicide, we immediately launch, through our Surgeon General, the military professional/technical suicide investigation. That is launched within three days of an actual suicide. It's given a period of about a month in which to come back and identify what the circumstances were and if there were preventative measures.
It involves speaking with the families, speaking with our clinicians, and speaking with the unit with which the member worked, so right away we have a good sense of what led our members to commit suicide. Again, I can give you the latest statistics from our recent suicides, because that's how closely we monitor them.
To your point about the boards of inquiry, the boards of inquiry—you're absolutely right—are an administrative process to assign attributability for the purposes of Veterans Affairs benefits. However, the time that it has taken—you're right, sir, it has been too long—does not prevent us from assigning attributability and getting the benefits for the family members.
I will conclude by saying that we have launched a tiger team to take those 70-plus and complete them, and we are conducting a reorganization within the Canadian Forces so that boards of inquiry are under one organization, as opposed to two.
