Thank you.
In lines 132 to 134 of your opening remarks, it says that no member is released before all benefits from the CAF and VAC are in place, so both VAC and CAF would have to agree that “now is the time.”
I'm trying to envision it. Would both sides sign off and say, “Okay, we both agree that everything is in place,” and go forward from there? Is it the Canadian Armed Forces that would decide, “Okay, we're ready”, and pass the member on to VAC, or is there an interaction and an agreement between the two that a soldier is ready to do that transition?

Knowledge translation is the important part here. A lot of times that's what happens. The knowledge is there, but it never gets translated. That's our biggest concern, I think, with Veterans Affairs. We're not seeing that translation when we have these great ideas and how we're moving that to our veterans so they can be provided with what they do.
Do you get involved with CIMVHR, with that organization at all?

Yes. The submarine, I'm still...but anyway. You have such a high level of respect when you have a chance to really engage, at least a little bit.
I have one more thing. We're here to study service delivery. There's both National Defence and Veterans Affairs, and we're trying to develop that seamless transition. You mentioned how frustrating it is when someone's injury has been determined and assessed, they know what it is, and then they go to VAC, where it's reassessed...and they said they don't. We've heard witnesses from both directions, that they were released to VAC way too soon, that they weren't ready, and then of course the other situation.
Do you see a way that this could be resolved? I still don't understand who makes that final decision. If it's National Defence, should it be both sides coming to a decision together —i.e., everything's in place, the house ready for someone with no legs, they're not addicted to anything? I'm wondering what your perspective is, because you have that experience.

Thank you.
Very quickly, we need to make recommendations as a committee, and we want them to be substantive. We hear about the issues concerning trust. I know one of them is with never seeing anything really happen. You don't turn a dinosaur around on a dime, but things need to happen to change the culture.
You talked about DND and VAC working together. Would there be value in us, as a committee, recommending that a case study be done of a scenario where we say there are joint case workers in this circumstance here and here, and try to put some framework to that and suggest we give that a try as a case study—obviously you're not going to implement it right away—to see if that would make a substantive difference?

So it's a case study, then a pilot project.
I had my staffer try to go on My VAC—he can't set up an account—and he was pulling his hair out. This is a smart young man with eight languages, and he just said it was impossible. Would it be wise for us to also do a case study where we had an individual who had to work through that process come alongside us so we could experience it with them to see part of that? I don't know.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here, and thank you for your service.
It's great to see a great working relationship between the two of you; however, we've heard from people that there seems to be a disconnect. The people who have come to talk to us make it sound as though there isn't this working relationship amongst you. That transition stage, as you go from one to the other, seems to be an issue.
I'm wondering, because you have such a great relationship among yourselves, whether you actually communicate with each other about that transition process and actually assess that from time to time—yearly, every five years, or whatever—and ask what you need to be doing in that transition.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all four of you for coming today and presenting to us. I appreciate your presentations.
I would like to start relatively quickly and just ask both of you, starting with the Legion, if you can tell me what you're happy about in terms of what came out of the present budget and the recommendations for Veterans Affairs—not specifically the whole thing, but whatever dealt with veterans.

I understand what you are saying. I think what's important, though, is that we make sure that these services are also.... Seeing the word “centralized”, with two centres.... Our veterans are all over the country, so I just want to make sure that the services are available to all of our veterans to the same degree, regardless of where in the country they live. I know that this is an issue in my province, where mental health support is needed and it's not there. We travel in our province to get help for pretty well anything. We have an opportunity for another office there; I understand that. My concern is for the front-line work.

I have one here that I can ask. It's in regard to the case managers and their roles and responsibilities across the country. A couple of us are focused on rural areas and meeting their needs.
What kind of feedback do you get from the case managers and from the individuals that they're serving regarding the best way to provide those services where a person is not in a major centre? How can such a person access that easily?

As far as the case managers and the 25:1, I would think that over time you'd get a good sense of who needs the services. Do you try to even it out so that there are some tough cases for each manager and some that aren't as time consuming?

Thank you. They were more financial, which you say you're not prepared to answer, or cannot.
You talked about medical care and providing those services, which is what we need. We need to provide for these veterans. You talked about diabetes. You mentioned it's not service related. If you've ever eaten a month's worth of MREs, I would question that. We're talking about lifestyle choices.
Who makes those decisions? Let's take that situation. If someone ends up with type 2 diabetes, which in a way we're looking at as a lifestyle situation for this individual, we can possibly attribute that to his lifestyle. Who makes that decision to say yes, that is, or no, it isn't?
