That's fine. I would just really recommend it, and I think it would encourage veterans for you to do so.
I have one more quick question that any of you can answer. On our summaries from the Library of Parliament there's an indication that a transition interview...gives members an opportunity to request a copy of their medical file, which can help accelerate the processing of applications for financial benefits and services. Once members are released, it is more difficult for them to obtain access to this information quickly, as medical files must be stripped of any third-party information and [be] provided to VAC rather than directly to members.
I see this as a huge chasm in processing veterans efficiently. I don't understand why their medical files are accessible to them while they're still in the Canadian Armed Forces, and yet they have to go through this huge process when they come out. Can they not simply sign a form and say, “I'm good with this; you have the freedom to release my information”?
