Thank you very much.
Of course, with this new contract, there are 14,000 veterans, approximately—probably a few over that—who depend on this type of contract. They have access to 9,000 experts, health experts and other experts, in 600 locations right across Canada in order to make sure that they're able to address their needs.
Why this new contract was put together—basically putting two contracts together—is that the caseworkers asked us in consultation to try to make sure that they have more time to spend with veterans. With this contract, they have more time to serve veterans. They have about 15 hours a week, approximately two days more, with this situation alone, because they don't have to do the administrative work and they don't have to find the different experts in the field right across the country. The contract has people in place to do that. That's what we want to make sure of.
My job is to make sure that we provide the best services we possibly can for veterans in the best way we can, where they need it and when they need it, and that's what we're doing with this contract.
Thank you.
