We have to distinguish between the cooperation that exists between the department and Veterans Affairs Canada and the transition experience. They are two different things.
We can't deny that the transition experience is a major stress factor for many of our members. When you're a member of the military, that's your identity. When you lose that identity, it's a huge shock to the system.
In terms of the transition, we're kind of doing it the other way around, actually. Often, we'll allow a family doctor, for example, to start seeing a member before their release date, to facilitate their transition to civilian life.
As the surgeon general for the Armed Forces, I'm not allowed to provide care to someone after their release date. However, because we have a contract that allows us to purchase that care, a family doctor can often be brought in to look after someone before their release date, which makes the transition easier.
