In the United States, all contractors are supposed to state how many veterans they hire. They have to, and it's relatively easy to do. There's also the 3% of all small and medium-sized businesses that have to be veteran—military and service-disabled. It increases the number of veterans in the defence supply chain with just those two small programs and ends up being massive. In my previous testimony to the House of Commons, I think I reported that something like $80 billion goes into veteran-owned small and medium-sized businesses in American defence because of that rule in particular.
Yes, other countries track it. Canada doesn't. I guess whatever you track is what's important to you, so companies don't see a reason to do it. There's a huge opportunity here, I would think, to include that in terms of reporting on contracts. That way you can have a better understanding of how much engagement we're having with it.
