Mr. Chair, could I comment?
There was an interesting article, actually a bombshell of an article, by the Veterans Ombudsman in The Hill Times, I think it was yesterday or the day before, where he actually rebutted a previous proposal by Michel Drapeau and a colleague about changing the organizational structure of VAC. Rather, he said, that the problem is in the front-end application process. By changing that process, we could probably speed up things very much.
Of course, a couple of things he mentioned in there were, first, that even the Canada Revenue Agency accepts certain documents without verification at that time. I think the second comment that stuck in my mind was that Veterans Affairs Canada should assume that most veterans are honest.
Thank you.
