1. Summary

The purpose of the current project is two-fold:

1. To gather information on Veteran health and well-being and the extent to which programs are effective in meeting recipients’ needs to allow for effective reporting of program and strategic performance; and 

2. To provide valuable information in support of improvements to service delivery and policy development. The results from this survey will also help to establish a new baseline for overall satisfaction with services and program results.

Accordingly, Veterans Affairs Canada will conduct this survey using a survey tool designed to ensure valid measures of well-being, obtain information about program effectiveness and to measure satisfaction.

The list includes the following contact information: landline telephone numbers and cell phone numbers. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The supplier will be required to complete a minimum of 1500 telephone interviews including both landline and cellphone only interviews. (The exact number of interviews to be conducted will be dependent upon the final sample size drawn).
