I agree, but we did deliver on six of the 15 mandate letter items. We ensured financial security as well as working on some of the components that are going to assist in mental health, reopening the nine offices and two additional offices. That will allow a point of contact for people who are struggling to come in, get the help they need, and get connected to case managers and people. I will remind the member that under the former government, 800 front-line service delivery specialists were cut. That was too far, too fast. Our case managers and people trying to help veterans were getting backlogged, and veterans were delayed from getting the care and help they needed.
On April 12th, 2016. See this statement in context.
