Thank you again.
In our previous study we studied the programs compared to other G-7 and G-8 countries, the complete realm basically of everything from A to Z. I think it did provide a lot of input for the Department of Veterans Affairs to take a good look at where we're heading to. Obviously, there is always a lot of discussion and a lot of head scratching as to how you actually compare payouts, compensation, because of the different medical system jurisdictions throughout the world. It is quite a thing to try to wrap your head around it.
The one thing that consistently popped up in my head or raised a red flag, from what I could see--and probably my colleagues would tell you I mention this quite a bit--is financial literacy. There has been some discussion today about the relationship between DND and Veterans Affairs and the ongoing commitment to make that a very tight and fruitful relationship. In your observations, we've had some comment from Veterans Affairs that they do provide some financial literacy or some financial tools, and I understand DND is also beginning to do that as well. In your opinion, is there some more room for improvement?
We know in your recommendations there are pieces in there. In your opening deliberations today you mentioned several components about financial pieces. But what about the literacy piece of it? People who obviously are disabled from service have limited abilities to earn—I'm just being honest—and need to be able to manage it as effectively as they can. Do you have any thoughts or opinions on this piece?
