Veterans Affairs committee  Okay.

Veterans Affairs committee  We heard from veterans before the committee that this was a concern. In terms of looking at the value they feel after they've finished their active service, not to have their skills recognized is pretty defeating, in many aspects.

Veterans Affairs committee  I've visited a couple of family resource centres with the minister over the last couple of years. I'm wondering if you've heard any feedback on the significance of the changes with the family resource centres for families.
