That's absolutely the case. To go back to what you were saying earlier about The 12 Tasks of Asterix, once you've found the permit A‑38 mentioned in the album, everything is fine.
The transition centres are new; they've been around for a year or two. In the past, it was referred to as the service personnel holding list, or SPHL, and the centres had a different name. In short, I think they are slowly finding their vocation. It is important for the Royal Canadian Legion to work with transition groups, because helping veterans is part of the Legion's role. It serves veterans.
As I said, transition groups are new. The people in these groups are still serving, and they don't have time to explain how to fill out all the forms and explain to the veterans who are going to be medically released what's going to happen.
Three weeks ago, I met with the lieutenant‑colonel of the 2nd Canadian Division transition group and his chief warrant officer. I'm talking about the 2nd Division, not all of Canada. I met with them to propose a partnership in which we, the service officers of the Royal Canadian Legion—there are many of them and there are several levels—help veterans who are medically released six months before they leave. If they provide their telephone number, we'll be able to contact them and help them fill out the famous service income security insurance plan, or SISIP, and Veterans Affairs Canada documents.
We could help them understand these complex documents, guide them and tell them that the time to act is when they're still active and have a doctor. That's why we want to be present at this stage to try to reduce the impact of medical release on veterans who are going to leave the forces and who won't have a doctor.
We have a 50‑50 partnership. If we become 100% partners, that will really help the veteran community.
