I remember, growing up, my father at the kitchen table working with different files. He was a difficult individual to say no to. He would travel to Thunder Bay and Winnipeg, trying to deal with these other issues for the veterans.
It has to be extremely difficult. You mentioned the payments, and you mentioned the challenges. Some were recognized, and some weren't. Where does it stand today? I believe the information we have here....
Your information was a little bit different, but I'll just read you what we have: “According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, up to April 2007, 1,250 First Nations veterans or surviving spouses had received...payments out of a total of 2,743 applicants...”. That was just for first nations. Do you have any idea how many Métis outside of that have served, and what kind of numbers we're talking about? You may have mentioned, and I might have missed them.
