Generally speaking, because I know it's dependent on each specific case, if I heard you correctly, you said it can take roughly six months or up to six months to determine whether or not you can even start with a temporary category process. If he's assigned a temporary category, that can last six months. There's usually a second temporary category window of another six months. At the end of that, the decision to move to a permanent category will take time on top of that. You mentioned perhaps up to two years depending on the nature of the injury. Then there's the administrative process of determining whether or not he can stay in the forces with his permanent category, and that can take six to twelve months. Then there's the actual administrative release process. When a decision is made that you don't meet the universality of service, you start the release process, and that can take up to six months. That's how you're coming up with a window of anywhere from, let's say, two years. You had mentioned three years and it looks as though it could take as long as four years.
