I do, very much. In fact, I would strongly encourage the committee to ask the department exactly those questions. Ask the department to tell you how many veterans are waiting for decisions on their first applications. How many of those veterans don't have easy access to health care? How many of those veterans are in financial hardship? How many applicants are still serving?
When you are still serving in the CAF you have access to an outstanding health care system that's provided by the Canadian Armed Forces. Are those [Technical difficulty—Editor] so they're not being addressed prior to the veteran who has in fact been released from the CAF and does not have access to these supports? I would absolutely encourage this.
That is exactly my message: Please ask the department for more granularity in the information it provides to you, so that you can focus your attention where it is really [Technical difficulty—Editor] issue.
