National Defence committee  Absolutely. I mentioned earlier that on an annual basis, we review our program of work. We review that program of work with all level one commanders, the surgeon general, the chief of military personnel, and of course the environments, army, air force, navy, CJOC, and so on and so forth.

National Defence committee  That is on an ongoing basis. In the post-combat mission, as the issues on what we call the client side, which is the military side of the house as well as DND, have shifted, we've shifted our research program accordingly.

National Defence committee  We can certainly demonstrate the evolution of the research program, the plan of work for DRDC again adjusted on an annual basis. We have to understand we're dealing with research. Research, despite all best efforts, all best expertise, sometimes will take us in a direction where perhaps the answer doesn't lie, we realize, and we have to retreat and refocus.

National Defence committee  That's the nature of research and development work.

National Defence committee  We'd be happy to provide the information.

National Defence committee  I'll start, and I'll be happy to bring my colleagues into that discussion. No one around the world has found the magic solution for PTSD. It remains a challenging problem that is faced by the surgeons general of various countries. There are many lines of investigation around the world, some more specifically pursued by Canada, others pursued by other countries, and others in collaboration.

National Defence committee  To my knowledge, to this point, there are no studies expected to be cancelled because of a reduction.

National Defence committee  I'd be happy to provide that information to the committee.

National Defence committee  The Canadian Institutes of Health Research is a new partnership that we started last year. We ran a pilot last year. We plan to expand that partnership this year and in coming years. One of the things they are doing, for example, is the genomics work on detection of tools for early diagnosis.

National Defence committee  Yes or no. We're in the middle of planning for 2014-15, so the work plans have not been crystallized yet for April 1, 2014. So far, we have not applied reductions to the unit called military personnel research and analysis; we have not reduced personnel in that unit.

National Defence committee  To my knowledge, we have not lost any projects. As Dr. Dursun mentioned, projects are reviewed every year as a normal cycle of adjusting our work plans to meet the requirements of the surgeon general and the CMP.

National Defence committee  There's always a natural evolution of programs.

National Defence committee  The issue of MTBI, mild traumatic brain injury, is actually part of the new work we are doing with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Your question is very interesting, because it makes the assessment of exactly how many resources are allocated a little bit more challenging.

National Defence committee  That's a more detailed question than I can answer today, but I'd be happy to provide numbers.

National Defence committee  Again, we'd be happy to provide that information to the committee. I don't have a count of the number of projects.
