Thank you very much, Mr. Desilets.
My responsibility is to make sure we have the people in place to serve the veterans in as timely a way as possible. That's what I have done. That's why we have the extra funding for the caseworkers. It's to make sure they continue doing what they do.
As you're fully aware, we're on the right path, but we haven't gotten there yet. We need to reduce the backlog to the national standard. We will do that by next summer, but it's a task. We have to make sure we do it.
You're also fully aware, I know, that we implemented a lot of programs. You fully agreed with those programs. They're vitally important to veterans, too.
