Thank you, Mr. Casey.
Thank you, Minister.
I've been listening and hearing a lot about this consultation and the survey, and commemoration is a big component of Veterans Affairs. Commemorating the sacrifice that veterans have made is one of the pillars of Veterans Affairs.
In this consultation, what I heard from Mr. Ledwell as well was that you consulted using groups and contacts that were already available to you, which were veterans, veterans' families and people who had received veterans services. Would those things be readily available to Leger? Leger would not be able to get that because we've actually heard testimony before that connecting with veterans and getting lists of actual veterans is not that easy. We have them in Veterans Affairs as well as more contact points.
How would a consultation with veterans in the manner that was done by Veterans Affairs differ from a random poll or survey done by somebody like Leger, which would not have specific data on actual veterans in Canada?
