Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The return-to-work program is essentially a rehabilitation effort where disabled veterans come to us, and they're still members of the Canadian Forces. I think the thinking is that the sooner they're back in the work environment, the speedier their rehabilitation. The types of work we provide them are limited to what their abilities are. So if the disability is one that doesn't give them the ambulatory ability that they need, it may end up being clerical work.
To date, we have 33 members we've assisted in this fashion. The individual can make a decision as to whether he wants to continue on in the forces, or he can await the outcome of a medical decision made by a proper medical authority. We hope that if at some time they do decide to transition and leave the forces they would do so through us. We think we can provide a mechanism that would give them a safe landing, so to speak, back into society.
I hope this satisfies that question.
