I say there are two classes of veterans, and you just heard the differences. There are those who come under the old Veterans Charter and those who come under the New Veterans Charter. Then there is a third class of veterans who are under a little bit of each.
We're doing a study here on delivery of services to veterans. For the past 100 years, if you go back in history, there have always been problems in delivering services to veterans with a magnitude of programs all across the board, so I'll give you a new idea today: let's change the way we give services to veterans. Let's talk about going out to the veterans, finding their needs and meeting them.
There are four different needs. One is the transitioning; the second is treatment; the third is rehabilitation; and last, if they're not able to be rehabilitated, they need lifelong support.
Let's go out to the veterans to find their needs. Their needs will be financial, their needs will be family, and their needs will be spiritual. Instead of a magnitude of programs, let's cater the programs to each veteran and let's save money overall, because there are so many programs that are running and so many bureaucrats working to run those programs. All you need to do is find the need and meet it.
