Thank you very much, Chair.
I want to say a sincere thanks to all the witnesses for giving us their time and the benefit of their expertise today.
I'd like to say particular thanks to you, Mr. Thomson, for your service and for sharing some of your afternoon. I'd like to follow up on something you said about information sharing and pose a few questions to Mr. Heilman.
Mr. Heilman, I heard your reluctance to get into the question of whether it's CAF or VAC that should be in the business of attributing the cause of an injury to military service. It appears that one way we can avoid needing to change the way attributions are made is to improve the way that information is shared between the departments. I think Mr. Brassard was touching on this as well just now.
On that point, relating to the backlog, in your view what information, if any, between the two departments is currently not being shared that would be relevant to a veteran's claim and that could be improved? What are we missing here?
