In terms of the interface with VAC, we do have transition services that are available to members while they are still in the military. VAC is notified six months prior to a member being medically released.
At that point, we can make a connection with the member if we don't already have a relationship. We can begin to explain the benefits and services that are available through Veterans Affairs, and we can begin the planning process, along with the Canadian Forces colleagues who are already involved in their planning, so they can think about where they would like to move to as they look at what kinds of skills and credentials they have from the military and how they might translate that to the civilian world.
That whole planning process and that whole engagement with the member begins prior to release. The goal is to have that smooth transition occur as they release out of the military, and then the plan continues, the plan that was put in place prior to release.
