We do in fact have a number of concerns on that score. Since the change in service provider, getting funding has become very complicated. When people are accepted into the program, I or the coordinators prepare the applications for the Department of Veterans Affairs. We automatically submit an application for the department to fund a veteran's participation. Apparently, quite a few case managers aren't exactly sure what they should be asking us. It used to go much more smoothly.
I'd like to digress briefly back to your first question about inflation. Inflation has certainly affected us because all our programs are free to all veterans. However, everything, including food, has become more expensive at the hotels where we hold our programs and activities. Our costs for providing these programs free of charge to all Canadian veterans are therefore much higher.
We'd like to be better informed about what this new service provider wants from us in funding applications for participants.
