The two departments don't function in exactly the same manner. Veterans Affairs, on the management side, is much more centralized in Charlottetown, whereas DND has a much more decentralized approach, but the two departments are working together. A lot of improvement has happened over the last few years.
There is now something called the VAC/DND steering committee. There the two senior ADMs from Veterans Affairs and the chief of military personnel sit as co-chairs, along with the RCMP. We work together. Every three months or so there's a meeting at which all the issues of concern are raised and discussed. I think that's one forum in which things are getting a lot better. Again, it's two different cultures and two different departments, so overcoming a lot of that is probably the biggest obstacle we still face.
