Minister, pardon me for seeming to want to interrupt you, but five minutes is so short. Now I'd be tempted to ask you to leave the table and to speak with the deputy minister.
Deputy minister, I know that you have good intentions, and I believe that you're going to do a good job. However, I have one very great concern. It seems that the department hasn't made a lot of progress on the transition between old veterans and new veterans, which I call NVs.
Unfortunately, every year, every month, a large number of our veterans die of natural causes. And our young veterans of 34, 35 and 36 aren't ready to die tomorrow morning.
In his address, the minister spoke of a sweeping transformation. I don't want to cast doubt on his remarks, but I find it hard to believe that the transition is going that well, when we know that only five beds are available for new veterans at Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue Hospital.
I'd like to know your position and your overall plan on the transition between old veterans and new veterans.
