Thank you for the question.
It is a concern that we have as well. It was one of the driving reasons why, several years ago, we established the Canadian Armed Forces transition group to assist our members as they transitioned back to civilian life so they could reintegrate into Canadian society. Part of that transition process involves working closely with Veterans Affairs Canada to ensure that relevant medical information is transferred. We have made some tremendous progress with this over the course of the last number of years. In fact, I was just talking to the deputy minister of Veterans Affairs two weeks ago about this.
With regard to the proposal to use Canadian Armed Forces health services personnel to continue to treat veterans, I would love to do that but the challenge is capacity. Right now the limiting factor we have in so many of our activities is just the sheer lack of medical resources. Right now it's a question of resources and also a question of coverage. The Canada Health Act is quite clear that the regular force members will receive medical coverage from within the Canadian Forces health services. We don't have a policy to cover for that either.
I'll ask the deputy minister if he has more on this.
