Okay. I appreciate the questions and answers. I do have just a couple of things for our witnesses today.
First, you've mentioned various studies that have been done. Some of those that were mentioned today, both from Veterans Affairs and DND, I don't know if there's a way you could get some of them to our clerk and then we'd pass them on to people. That's just in case we can use them.
Again, a veteran is a veteran, but all veterans don't receive pensions. Some veterans have been in the Canadian Forces for four or five years and have decided to go into another field, whether it be police work or maybe work in a member of Parliament's office doing case work, or have gone back to university and those types of things. In order to keep track of those people once they leave, unless they've come to Veterans Affairs with a problem you wouldn't have any know-how of where those people necessarily are. A person doesn't have to be a veteran, doesn't have to have served in Afghanistan or Croatia, and doesn't have to have served outside the country. They can be in the Canadian Forces for that time. They're still a veteran, correct? So every person who comes out of the military does not have a pension.
I know that because my father was a veteran and he now gets VIP. That's something we should all remember, that people are classified as veterans—and I would hope that no one would ever have to go to a food bank. But some of those people have come out of the service and maybe at an earlier time have made the decision that they wanted to be civilians again. Am I correct when I think that way?
