I'll begin to answer the question, and then maybe someone can add to it
Across the country, indeed, the provision of services differs at times. VAC ensures that to the extent possible there is uniform provision of services to the veterans who need it. We would adjust, for instance, rates to ensure that an individual would get what they needed in terms of chiropractic services or other services equally across the country and that they would never be at a disadvantage because there might be a lack of parity or harmonization in the provision.
To the extent possible we will do that. We will also ensure that we work very hard to fill any gaps. One good example of this is in our operational stress injury clinics, which are obviously an area of high need in the Canadian medical landscape for VAC and DND. We set up operational stress injury networks so that we could provide clinical care on a more uniform basis across the country. We work very hard as well to develop and support providers across the country.
This means that we do a lot of education and outreach to service providers in the health care professions across Canada, with a view, of course, to ensuring that they understand the needs of veterans, that they're well positioned to support veterans, and that they do so in a way that's as streamlined and efficient as possible.
So while the Canadian health care landscape does have some variances across jurisdictions, our job is to try to make sure that is not a factor in the ongoing care of veterans.
