Sure.
When someone serves in the Canadian Armed Forces or the RCMP, throughout their career there are service records related to where they served—overseas or across Canada—as well as all of the health information associated with their time. It is held by the Canadian Armed Forces, but after a certain period of time, I think it's two years, it's moved over to Library and Archives Canada. When someone applies to Veterans Affairs Canada, we go to either of those organizations or the RCMP to receive a copy of that information to assist us in making the decision. We have formal processes with those organizations. Recently, we are working with the Canadian Armed Forces. We have 50 decision-makers who have direct access to the Canadian Forces health information system.
That direct access is just getting going. We're working through the kinks, trial and error. But that would be much faster and over time it will become a much more effective way for us to go in and target the information that we're looking for in real time.
