There has been an issue with respect to the timeline to transition the files. About two years ago we were at six to eight months, I believe, to transition a file. We put resources in place about two years ago to increase the number of people reviewing files to transition to Veteran Affairs Canada, and we're down to several weeks to two months, maybe, for transition of files.
There are issues that are not related to IT systems with respect to the transition of files; these have to do with the Privacy Act and our ability to share information from one department to another. I cannot transition the files from a military member to Veteran Affairs Canada until we've had the opportunity to go through that medical file to make sure there is no third party information in it. Once we screen the files, which is what this team does, to make sure there's no third party information present in them, we can then transition them to Veteran Affairs Canada in accordance with the Privacy Act.
