Certainly, Mr. Chair.
There are two points here. It's a blended approach. Yes, there's a contract with Calian, and yes, there are contracted resources for health care services available on bases. They can serve two purposes: One is a stopgap, where there is a shortage amongst employees; and two is a longer-term delivery model where there are no employees available in the foreseeable future.
That's not to say that there are no employees giving health care services on bases. Across the country, it's a mixed model. Where there are delays in staffing or we cannot find the appropriate qualified employees to deliver the services, Calian provides a useful backup.
As you know, military members do not use the provincial health care system unless there are special circumstances.
