We have a huge backlog and a six-month process. I can imagine those two things coming together, when you need people so desperately, would certainly bring a bigger challenge.
In 2018, there was a unanimous motion passed in the House that the NDP put forward. The motion was simply saying that whatever money is left over at the end of the year for the Veterans Affairs budget should just be rolled over into the next year to see that follow-up. That's not happening. Last year, $105 million was sort of returned to general revenue.
When we look at these backlogs.... Another part is that we see there's money moving from operations into programs. I'm still not connecting. I asked both the minister and the deputy minister to explain to me how money moving from operations into programs is going to help with this significant backlog, which is the biggest frustration for our veterans.
I'm wondering if you can speak to those.
