In my riding I heard from quite a few who were frustrated: We have quite a few different letters from them, saying that they didn't know.
They needed their medicines. One example here is it's $1,000 a month for their chronic illness. Even phoning, the amount of time to try and get through to everything was really frustrating for those individuals, so I'm hoping you can improve on that.
I'm going to move on to something else that we've heard quite a bit about as well. How many veterans are working at VAC after they finished their careers? Right now 5% of VAC employees are veterans, and at last count that would be roughly around 171 employees in the whole department. I would think or assume that there are good jobs for those who are leaving Veterans Affairs. It's always good to have a good, steady government job, I'm sure—something to look for.
That number itself seems kind of low, and I'm just wondering if you have committed to a certain number to improve in order to have more veterans work in the department.
