Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for being here with your officials.
Along the lines of Bev's questioning on the effort to make this as easy as possible for our soldiers who become veterans, as we've all come to recognize, a veteran is a veteran is a veteran, whether they're a veteran from the Second World War or Korea, and that is an important group of traditional veterans. We're making new veterans every day when a service man or woman leaves the military because of retirement or illness.
So is there a task force? Is there a proactive effort being made by DND and Veterans Affairs to improve the linkages between the two departments at every stage of the process? I appreciate that you have to have silos and envelopes for budgetary reasons. There have to be parameters for and definitions of what one department does in the other, but we can always do better.
