Veterans Affairs committee  Well, take the newsletter as an example. We didn't have any French-speaking veterans. We have American veterans who are in Quebec, but now I'm getting, from New Brunswick, French-speaking veterans who can't even speak English. We're starting to receive them through that newslette

Veterans Affairs committee  Well, they're always having a problem with the services, but still we try to assist them. Cliff Chadderton helps us out a lot.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm a member of the Legion, but I don't.... You know, I have other things to do. What I'm trying to get at is why doesn't DVA talk to us as a group and try to tell us what is available--as you're saying--to our families or our veterans?

Claude Petit

Veterans Affairs committee  That's right. I would like the information to flow out to me, because I'd put it in the newsletter. Anything that comes out that veterans need goes into the newsletter. Something like that goes to all the friendship centres across Canada. The key contacts for us are the friendshi

Claude Petit

Veterans Affairs committee  No, I want them to contact me. The thing is that I believe it's their job to make sure all the veterans groups know about these programs. As soon as I know, that will be passed on to my membership.

Veterans Affairs committee  In the Saskatoon area. Veterans Affairs runs in districts, so they come into that office. When I was president of the Korean veterans, I had one of our liaison officers in our organization go and see if we could get a phone and an office, and we'd do the calling.

Claude Petit

Veterans Affairs committee  I'll comment on it. We have an office; our meetings are held right in the Legion. Every Legion across Canada has a service officer.
