As far as I know, it has disappeared. This is something that has been actually going on at the department since 2002. The report, Keeping the Promise, from the GAC, was really the ultimate conclusion of some very hard work.
If you don't mind, I'd like to talk about the needs-based approach, because it brings forward another point of discussion we were having before the honourable members came.
In a needs-based approach, you realize that when you do the costing, you don't need to do the costing for 100% of the people coming forward to tap services. You probably need to do the costing for between 12% and 14% of the people who will need the services. In that instance, it facilitates being able to project what the financial demands will be for certain programs. There's a problem with doing financial estimates when you're trying to fund 100%. This is a problem, I think, not only for the Conservative government, but for other MPs, which has to be resolved at the source.
This was the fundamental framing of the Keeping the Promise report. We realized that only 12% to 14% of the people would come and get services. If you look at the slide that was given to you by the ombudsman, you can see that the number of clients who are in place in Veterans Affairs is 58,000 clients--modern veterans--out of a total pool of 592,000. The figures speak for themselves. When you do costing with a needs-based approach, you don't need to cost to 100%.
