Thank you for the question. I'll take that, Mr. Chair.
Let us bear in mind that the support centres that he refers to across the country were stood up in 2009. In relative terms, that's yesterday. The Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs have never worked as closely together as they do today, but that wasn't necessarily always the case. From a consistency perspective, we have put standard operating procedures in place. We have put an October 2011 directive in place with respect to what would be involved in a transition plan. That speaks to the evolving nature of working together. That's a work in progress. I freely acknowledge that, and it goes to my answer to a previous question related to the continuous improvement cycle that we're on.
With respect to the first part of your question—I'm assuming everybody's had a look at the Auditor General's report—there are 15 recommendations that have all been accepted; seven of those are joint between Veterans Affairs, the Canadian Forces, and the Department of National Defence; five are specific to the Canadian Forces; and three are specific to Veterans Affairs. So we will be working together on those seven that are joint to come together with a joint action plan. On those departmental-specific recommendations, we'll be coming forward with a departmentally specific action plan.
