Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, the rehabilitation program is a separate program and we found that the decisions related to eligibility met the standard the department had put in place.

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, as we've noted in paragraph 3.19 and to be fair to Veterans Affairs Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada has put in many supports, the ones we've noted here in particular, for veterans in need of health support. That's right.

Public Accounts committee  No, sir, it isn't.

Public Accounts committee  I think it's true. I think there have been issues reported about wait times in the provincial health care system. But in this case what we're talking about is not the provincial health care system but Veterans Affairs Canada, which has set a standard of 16 weeks from the time th

They have advised me that the department is undertaking a review of the reporting requirements. They are wo

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, Mr. Chair, I agree with that statement.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I agree with that statement. I would just point out that this piece of legislation is very narrow in its scope.
