Public Accounts committee  Thanks for the question. At this point, to create our business plan, we've now engaged all the health offices across the country—they're decentralized—to understand what the issues are and where the biggest gaps are so that we can start building on the gaps and asking what resou

Public Accounts committee  In the short term, once again, the disability managers and the advisers in play would be part of the role to make sure that we start documenting the data. Unfortunately, right now, much of the data we have is paper-based, which doesn't suit our needs. By 2018, we're hoping to hav

Public Accounts committee  We're shooting for the end of June to have the full analysis done. We've been working with our health offices, and that's what we're shooting for, to give us an idea of the type of resourcing or the gaps so we can then reach to our commissioner and our minister and have that disc

Public Accounts committee  That about covers it.

Public Accounts committee  We received reports. The divisional champions would meet with the national champion to report on initiatives managers had put in place. Training was also provided.

We have serving police officers right now who would identify themselves as having disabilities, so we have both, even in the serving ranks.

Public Accounts committee  I have it in here, bear with me, sorry. I don't want to lead you astray. In our ranks now, 1.9% of our serving police officers who would self-identify as having disabilities.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes. I was reading it, actually, before coming here. We testified at that committee on behalf of the RCMP.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm sorry. I touched on it too quickly. As a point of clarification, when I talk about Homewood, I'm talking about when it's serving the member. Within our own organization, when it's an occupational injury, we have access to.... I know there's Homewood. We have used it. We have

Veterans Affairs committee  I believe it's critical. I'll be honest with you that we have not been good in the past at keeping that connection. That's why we're now investing in a fulsome disciplined and managed program, to ensure that this is happening. In the last three or four years, we've been telling
