Yes. Within Veterans Affairs, Mr. Chair, the case manager gets engaged during the transition process at the integrated personnel support centres, the 24 IPSCs across the country, where we are co-located with National Defence staff. The case manager gets engaged with the releasing member prior to release to get a sense of what the health or re-establishment needs are prior to release. That enables the case manager, together with the releasing member and the releasing member's family, to begin building a plan, putting a plan in place, so that upon release there is as little to no interruption in service as possible.
That plan will address not only the health needs from a medical and psychological point of view, but also the re-establishment needs in terms of assistance that may be required in finding civilian employment.
It's a comprehensive approach in terms of addressing the re-establishment needs.
As I said, the engagement begins pre-release. It's an ongoing, problem-solving relationship that's established between the case manager and the releasing member or veteran upon release. As I alluded to, we do encourage the family to be involved in that process because the family unit is important, and understanding the family dynamics, in terms of that re-establishment process, is critically important.
