Again, Brigadier-General Misener will be well positioned to speak to this issue when he testifies.
When I spoke to the panel last year, I was responsible for transition services. This is part of how the chief of the defence staff is increasing the commitment toward our enhanced transition, which is one of our mandate commitments and is in the “Strong, Secure, Engaged” policy.
We've brought a new director general to lead this program, to be in charge of the JPSU. Additional staff are being added. That's exactly the focus: to make this a seamless experience. No one leaves uniform without having either a job set up or the support programs, either from long-term disability or from our colleagues at Veterans Affairs. Their education plan is rolling, or if they're employed, they're straight into their employment, and their adaptive needs, through benefits, are all there. That's the goal.
In reality, there are, unfortunately, a few—usually in the single digits annually—who do slip through those cracks now. Brigadier-General Misener will be able to speak to the total flow that we've seen and how we're going to enhance that and make it.... The goal is always zero. No one will fall through the cracks and no one will be unsupported.
