I intend to keep it brief, Mr. Chair.
My comments are directed to Mr. Hillier.
Earlier, the question I put to both you and Mr. Butler related to the case of a veteran with whom I was acquainted. He developed a work-related illness while in the military and he was advised to retire. He took that advice and today, he is stuck with a non-indexed pension. He was never given the opportunity to avail himself of career transition or other services. I think a person should be advised, as in any other circumstance, of his right to such services before having to make a decision. I'm referring here to subsection 52(1) of section 2.
