Veterans Affairs committee  I feel very strongly about this point. Our numbers don't often go up and down; they stay very consistent. When you have a caseload of 40, for it to decrease significantly, there has to be a significant change, like a new person maybe coming onto the team and that type of thing.

Veterans Affairs committee  I think that's one significant point, but it's also about the impact it's going to have on the veteran. If and when the time comes that they will have to change a provider, that will be devastating to them. It's not going to have a positive result, and we have a tremendous number of providers registered with Medavie Blue Cross at this particular time.

Veterans Affairs committee  Mr. Chair and committee members, my name is Amanda Logan and I'm a local president in New Brunswick. I've been a case manager for almost five years. I was taught from a young age that it is important to be able to speak and interact with others, to get to know people, learn about them and understand them.
