It's not something that SISIP is looking at. Perhaps you could just write that down on something to us and send it to the clerk. VAC, if you could let us know how many are medically released based on MST, that would be really helpful. I assume, unless you say no, that you're good to do that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885952\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Harris, I'm going to come to you first.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885953\" data-originallang=\"en\">I understand there is a service delivery branch dedicated for processing disability claims related to MST. I'm just wondering if you could tell us a little bit about how long it's been in existence. Is it a permanent or temporary unit? Are the workers permanent or temporary, and is there a ratio of that? Are the adjudicators medical professionals? It would be helpful.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885954\" data-originallang=\"en\">The last part of that question is this: How many claims are they processing on a monthly basis? If you have daily or weekly numbers, we're open to that as well. Are the number of claims increasing?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7885948\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885949\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 attentivement la discussion sur le RARM et les crit\u00e8res d'admissibilit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885950\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais bien que le RARM et ACC nous fassent part des crit\u00e8res qui leur permettent de d\u00e9terminer si les lib\u00e9rations pour des raisons m\u00e9dicales sont attribuables ou non au service, et qu'ils nous donnent la proportion d'hommes et de femmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885951\" data-originallang=\"en\"> On dirait qu'en ce qui concerne les traumatismes sexuels, il n'y a pas de traumatisme sexuel militaire, ou TSM. Ce n'est pas quelque chose que le RARM envisage. Vous pourriez peut-\u00eatre consigner ces informations par \u00e9crit et les envoyer au greffier. Si ACC pouvait nous faire part du nombre de lib\u00e9rations pour des raisons m\u00e9dicales relatives au TSM, ce serait vraiment utile. Je pr\u00e9sume, sauf avis contraire de votre part, que vous \u00eates en mesure de le faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885952\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Harris, je vais commencer par vous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885953\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si je comprends bien, il y a un secteur de la prestation des services qui se consacre au traitement des demandes de prestations d'invalidit\u00e9 li\u00e9es au TSM. Je me demandais quand le programme a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis sur pied. L'unit\u00e9 est-elle permanente ou temporaire? Les employ\u00e9s ont-ils un statut permanent ou temporaire? Y a\u2011t\u2011il un ratio entre les deux types d'employ\u00e9s? Les arbitres sont-ils des professionnels de la sant\u00e9? Ces informations seraient utiles \u00e0 notre \u00e9tude.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7885954\" data-originallang=\"en\">Finalement, combien de demandes cette unit\u00e9 traite-t-elle mensuellement? Des statistiques quotidiennes ou hebdomadaires nous conviendraient \u00e9galement. Le nombre de demandes augmente\u2011t\u2011il?</p>"
