Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Heilman, I'll ask you a question. First of all, I want to thank you for your service and thank you for sharing the skin that you have in the game. I really appreciate the hard work that you're doing, and I know that it obviously matters a lot to you.
Especially in our last testimony, we heard the former military ombudsman talk a lot about having more responsibility given to CAF to diagnose, tell people where they are and then pass that on to VAC, and just have VAC be more of the implementation branch of this process. We know that so many people are getting held up in that transition between the medical records process.... I appreciate the work that you're all doing on fixing that. Then we could allow VAC to implement that process but then also do any follow-up on injuries that may come at a later time, because we know that some folks walk out the door of CAF and then several years later find out that there's something else that is a challenge for them.
I'm just wondering if you've heard about what the former military ombudsman said, and if you have any thoughts on whether that process would actually work and help us streamline this process so that our veterans get the support they need in a more timely manner.
