Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Ladies and gentleman, thank you very much for appearing today. It is greatly appreciated.
I have just a couple of questions.
Madam, you talked about the fact that most of the veterans you see have been medically released. Do you deal as well with veterans who have been honourably discharged? Because one of the things we're finding is that for someone who serves, say, 30 to 35 years in the military and then leaves, many times it's difficult to adjust to civilian life. They are a bit lost because that's a whole culture that they've left and now they're into something else. Do you deal with any of those folks as well?
Do you do any referrals from the RCMP?
Also, do you have any family members? Because one of the things we have found is that one of these transition programs is to ensure that the families and the family members are step by step with these individuals as they go through the transition phase. I know you that you do have spouses, I believe, of those who have passed on, but do you have family members there as well?
I have another couple of questions.
For this next one, could you could send it back to us? Because it will be too long an answer and I'll be out of time. Can you take a couple of examples...? Take Sergeant Joe or Lieutenant Anne. You walk them through a process. From when you first see them to when they successfully career...can you give us some examples of how that works?
By the way, thank you very much for, outside your contract, helping the veterans pay for these tuition fees and books. I think that's very noble of you. Thank you for those recommendations as well. But how, in turn, do you get paid for your services? Is it on a monthly basis? Is it on a weekly basis?
The last question for you: when does the contract come up? Is it up for renewal every three years, every five years, or whenever?
Again, I'm sorry for all the questions. Thank you very much for coming. I really appreciate it.
