Thank you very much.
Earlier, we heard that there was an article about a rounding error. I just want to clarify for the record that it was actually seven months, not six years, and as soon as the department was made aware of the error, all 133 veterans were retroactively paid the cash. I just wanted to clarify that.
Recently, we announced that veterans would be getting access to the MFRCs, the military family resource centres, which I think is incredibly important. As of April 1 this year, all 32 MFRCs will now have services available for vets and their families. We're investing $147 million over six years and $15 million afterward.
I was just at CFB Winnipeg talking to families, and as a member of a military family, I know that when we need something we go to the MFRC. That's who we go to.
In your opinion, how important is it to continue to provide that support to the families post-service? Could you elaborate, Professor Norris?
