I'll try to make it short.
The reality is that after World War II, in those seventeen major facilities where there were primary access beds, actually approximately 2,000 beds were reserved for critical care for veterans returning from that conflict. Over the years, these critical care beds had a different vocation. They were changed over to chronic beds because the department was dealing with veterans who were aging.
We now see some injuries coming out of Afghanistan. If you look at the statistics, 200 Canadian Forces personnel have been injured since we've been in Afghanistan. Some of those have received traumatic injuries that are putting them at risk, and they could be in those types of facilities possibly for the rest of their lives, which is why we're saying there's an immediate need in those specific facilities, in those primary access beds that the department controls.
