Sure. The product you're speaking about is called the military benefits browser. It was something originally created by our office back in 2018. It focused on the transition for Canadian Armed Forces members as they transitioned to civilian life with illness or injury. It's since been expanded. We worked very closely with the Canadian Armed Forces to expand the product to now include all the benefits and services that may be available to someone throughout their military career.
The purpose of the product was really to make information about benefits and services accessible to people so they could make more informed decisions. Someone who is applying to become a Canadian Armed Forces member can see what benefits and services they may be entitled to. A family member can access that information to say, I'm being posted from this location to another, what benefits might be available to me? I have a special needs child, what supports are there? It breaks things down in a very user-friendly way. You can sort, for example, by financial, mental health or physical health. There are a lot of supports there.
The last stats that I looked at, which are probably about a month old now, had 11,000 visitors total, but 9,000 new since the launch of the product. I understand it's being used across the Canadian Armed Forces and in the transition centres as well to help people prepare for different stages of their careers and meetings they may have.
