Finance committee  Thank you very much for the question. It's something we are asked fairly often, unfortunately. The form in question is not a Veterans Affairs Canada form. I know that changes have been made to that form. It isn't a change to the act, but a change in the documentation that is requested from veterans and their doctor.

Finance committee  Thank you very much for the question. After age 65, there are two current benefits for which the veteran might be eligible. Again these would depend on their post-retirement earnings and also on some other eligibility criteria that they would have to meet. One is the supplementary retirement benefit, which is a percentage of their earnings loss benefit that is kept aside for them and that they receive in a lump sum payment at age 65.

Finance committee  We are currently working through exactly how the functional capacity assessment would be implemented. It will be part of the regulations that we are now writing and hopefully, would come after this legislation is passed. However, we're looking at different methods to do so. For example, our current service providers that we have do this type of assessment for other individuals, such as the workers' compensation boards.

Finance committee  Yes, that's right.

Finance committee  Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that question. I'm not sure.

Finance committee  Indeed, 75% to 90% of gross pre-release salary is the adjustment that's being proposed. It would be in individual circumstances that the veteran might actually receive the full 15%, because there are offsets provided for under the regulations, which are calculated as well from employment earnings.

Finance committee  Yes, I can. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I refer you to part 4, division 2, articles 79 to 116 of the act. It is an act to amend the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act, which we more commonly refer to as the new Veterans Charter. There are four areas that are being proposed for amendment in this division of the act.
