We are currently carrying out a study through our contract with the government on services for veterans. We are doing a study on the relationship between the costs and implications of those services. Are they having a positive impact on military members or not? That's the kind of research we are doing, and it's producing results for the government.
We also do research on the transition. For example, we are trying to assess veterans' exact needs during the transition. We are also trying to determine how their income varies. We are realizing that a former member of the regular force—the situation is different for reservists—will have a lower income for a few years.
How can we ensure those veterans will be followed closely to help them better position themselves in the labour market? We have also noted that, when veterans are followed by Veterans Affairs Canada or other groups, after five or six years, they manage to earn as much as or more than they used to.
That research on the economic status and specific physical or mental health needs helps the government better identify and target veterans.
