We received a letter from the minister in regard to the number of professional health care providers who were engaged and now will be engaged with the new approach to the Partners in Canadian Veterans Rehabilitation Services. In the letter he states, “Veterans Affairs Canada does not register health care professionals by specific program area.”
I find that interesting, because the Auditor General mentioned that there's a lot of trouble in trying to come up with any clarity on how effective different programs are.
Do you not think it would be important to organize those by specific program in light of the need for research on whether or not things are effective and whether needs are being met by how many of those professionals you have in each area, how many are being used and what the needs are based on that kind of information?
