There is a lack of employees everywhere. We don't have enough training. What's more, there is a retention problem within the department, and employees do not get much recognition. The department really has a lot of work to do to fully recognize employees in order to retain them. That's one of the weaknesses that, unfortunately, means that we are having difficulties in keeping our employees.
We would like to work with the department in order to meet this target because our mission is to give the best service possible to veterans and their families. We know that the resources are there within Veterans Affairs Canada. We want more resources, but not through privatization. We would like public servants to take care of veterans.
