There is a mechanism to track veterans. You're not always going to get feedback or access to veterans.
I'll make a point. My father was a Second World War veteran. He never belonged to any returned service league association, but he was known as a veteran because he held a gold card in Australia, so we knew—all the veterans in Australia.
Generally there are ways to get information to inform government about issues and needs of veterans. I look at the network of returned service league associations that exists worldwide, and there must be returned service league organizations across Canada that can come together to inform government of the issues of veterans, whether it be concerning what specifically government is looking for or something else.
Within the Australian sector, we consulted heavily with the NGOs supporting veterans about the issues and health care needs and the programs needing to be developed to support their ongoing needs. That was an ongoing review process. The minister for veterans had an advisory council that reported back to the minister on the needs of aging veterans.
