The model we have now, with two separate ombudsmen and two separate departments, is working fine. It certainly needs some tweaking. It's going to take some refinement, but we're fortunate to have a full entity looking after our veterans and their families. What I see in other countries that don't have the actual veterans department is that, sometimes, a lot of money that should be flowing towards supporting veterans and families is flowing into the department for more toys, more missions, and that sort of thing. I think we're fortunate to have the two.
