Because veterans receive their health care in their communities, under their own provincial health authorities, we don't have access. We have no right to have access to that type of information unless it's shared with us. Our review and analysis is only based on what we know of the veteran, but it's an incomplete picture, unlike for our colleagues in the Canadian Forces, who have the entire medical record and can go more in depth. But, again, with the help of Statistics Canada and with the CAF, we can paint as complete a picture as we can.
