Veterans Affairs committee  There wasn't supposed to be. This is why this organization was formed. It was formed by Ron Irwin. At that time he was the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.

Veterans Affairs committee  Well, we're trying to keep it together, but they're breaking off. They're receiving money, so.... You know, that talks.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  No, it was never completed.

Veterans Affairs committee  The panels. There's one going around.

Veterans Affairs committee  You'll see the one with the panels on and one that's there right now. You see, the panels are the ones with the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, and peacekeeping. They're supposed to go on the bottom. They're about 10x8 feet wide, and they cost a lot of mon

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, there is the language barrier, to start off with. As I just said to Peter, we don't have the money to communicate by phone. The computer is good, if they can use it. They can use it from me to them and then pass a message on if something else comes up. As I said, I met last

Veterans Affairs committee  If you don't have them, then hire more staff. There are a lot of bad stories about veterans being at home and nobody taking care of them. I don't want to go into it.

Veterans Affairs committee  It probably is, because they will come out of the woodwork. The thing is--you know what the game is--if there's any money available....

Veterans Affairs committee  No, I don't have the figure. We did have a figure. I travelled to Europe with the person who was doing it, and he said around 4,000 that they know of had registered. As I said, a lot of the Métis didn't want to be Métis, because they were discriminated against if they were Métis.

Veterans Affairs committee  No. The thing is, I get the VIP....

Veterans Affairs committee  No, that's why I'm saying we're not.... Even the money that was given to the first nations--I thought all the aboriginal people were going to receive that, but then it ended up with just the first nations people.

Veterans Affairs committee  We were getting close to $100,000. We're getting $60,000 now because of the cutbacks. It's always the same old thing. We're just barely making it with that. Even coming in to a meeting like this, especially when the government people say, “Well, you pay for it”, it takes two mont

Veterans Affairs committee  Oh, certainly. Anything would.
