Veterans Affairs committee  We'll see how quickly this cascades to the assistant deputy minister of service delivery.

Veterans Affairs committee  I know that we've hired in Saskatchewan. I also know that in Regina we have an office. We have the integrated personnel support centre at CFB Moose Jaw. With regard to where the actual individuals are on these lists and how many are parked in Saskatoon, I'll have to rely on the a

Veterans Affairs committee  I can tell you right now that we're still supporting Saskatchewan from Deer Lodge in Manitoba, which is—

Veterans Affairs committee  —not optimized, but I would not go into future intention like that.

Veterans Affairs committee  Sir, if I may, from our perspective this is an issue, as the Minister said, about wellness, about well-being, about the medical professionals' advice that anything north of three grams may not be in the best interests of the veteran, so this was not costed in terms of what we for

Veterans Affairs committee  I'd just like to add that when the minister spoke at the CIMVHR conference in Vancouver in November, he tasked the department, in partnership with the Canadian Armed Forces, to conduct the research to again look at best practices with regard to the merits and the details of using

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Absolutely, Minister. Of all the claims coming in to Veterans Affairs with mental health issues, we are approving 94% of them.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'll just say that it is a mandated promise. It's a marriage after 60 issue that is in the mandate, and our instructions are to work closely with the Canadian Armed Forces and National Defence, because this is a Canadian Forces superannuation clawback issue. We're working closely

Veterans Affairs committee  Just to say that with budget 2017, as the minister indicated before, the focus is on the well-being of the veteran. What is really unique about the education and training benefit is that for the first time since World War II, we have a benefit that is available to all veterans

Veterans Affairs committee  In the past, the uptake on the career transition service was minimal because it was so restrictive in nature. I think in the past year we had a handful, maybe less than 30 veterans, actually use the service. Again, the narrative of this past budget is one of well-being, to give v
