It sounds to me as though you are saying they experienced it differently, which we recall a former prime minister of your party saying as well. Anyway, let's dig into some of the details of what's behind the article.
Service providers are saying that they can't provide the services they used to provide or would like to provide to veterans. Veterans have been telling us the same thing: they can't get access to the providers they want. We were told over and over again by your officials and the PCVRS and affiliated officials the other day that veterans can apply and become part of the program.
Well, we have the following information from a fairly major service provider. They first submitted their application on February 15, 2023, and finally, on June 27, 2025, they were accepted into the program. That was 28 months later, after dozens of exchanges back and forth and all kinds of paperwork. Then they found out that because they're considered an out-of-network provider, there are not going to be any referrals coming to them.
This clearly tells us that what we were told is completely inaccurate. Does this sound like success to you?
