Maybe it's not given much prominence, but in Honouring Our Commitment, the new Veterans charter advisory group makes the point that there does not seem to be the authority to keep track of veterans. Why shouldn't it be a permanent account, so to speak, that's there? Even if someone has just been discharged, there should be a way to monitor who's out there and some ease in getting back into the system. That would facilitate things.
