As a matter of fact, Mr. Chair, we've submitted an access to information request to do with homelessness to find out what exactly we are missing in this. It was suggested to us that we should be taking this course. It's an extremely onerous way of doing it. It is time-consuming. I think the department is going to find, much as the Department of National Defence did when it asked the DND Ombudsman to do this in days gone by, that it's just not worth its effort to have to bring those documents out, censor them, and go through all of the processes. It's better off to work in a collegial fashion and, in our case, serve the veteran at the end of the day.
