I think it's fair to say that the report from the Gerontological Advisory Council was quite broad in its scope and talked about a whole range of elements, not just the veterans independence program. Obviously, we looked at that report and considered the full range of issues that it raised for us, particularly in light of the highly credentialled membership of that advisory group. I think it's fair to say--and maybe Carlos could comment about individual impacts on VIP--that within the existing authorities we have, we've already moved to look at a number of different changes, I guess, that were reflected in that report.
For instance, Carlos talked about how we brought together long-term care and VIP in a management perspective. That's all about bringing that continuum of care much more to the forefront ,so that we get the better flow-through of services and programs to veterans who need that sort of support.
We've talked a little about case management. I guess part of what the report was saying around the way we case-manage is about making sure that we look much more broadly at the full range of services that are available so we can best meet a client's needs. There has been a huge amount of work done within the department in regard to looking at its case management processes so that we can much better get the flow-through from client needs through a process of looking at the full range of service delivery options out there, options that VAC is responsible for, that the provinces are responsible for, and that community organizations have responsibility for, so we can better get a package of services that meets the needs of the client, the veteran, at the end of the day.
Is there anything you wanted to add about the VIP, Carlos?
I think it's more a flavour of how we're moving forward overall, about bridging the gaps between the different programs, which can either add to or take away from the impact, depending on the way you change some of the interfaces.
