Thank you, sir.
There are 7,300 veterans' associations in France, including 500 national associations. This represents a huge network of associations. As far as I know, the Minister for Veterans Affairs consults with these associations, but they also help with the day-to-day management of the national organization for veterans' affairs. There are ways for members to help develop the tools which are made available for veterans.
In answer to the question as to whether there is a dedicated forum to encourage dialogue between the department and veterans' associations, I don't know.
