Before I begin my questions for our witnesses, I have one request from our analyst.
Mr. Perron raised something on the time to set up an ombudsman. I wonder if we can get an average and specific cases on the timelines for setting up an ombudsman, whether it's provincial or national, not only in our country--I was going to say our nation, but that's something we won't discuss right here--but around the world.
A military ombudsman usually deals with complaints from serving members in the Canadian Forces. A lot of the veterans' claims are not brand-new. They don't just pop up later on in life; many of them start with a serving member. Given your involvement with the military ombudsman's advisory committee, do you have any suggestions on how a military ombudsman and a veterans ombudsman could work together to clear up issues delaying the process of applications for disability pensions or awards? Do you see them in different offices, or do you see one office that covers both? Which way do you feel would work best?
