We're talking about the whole gamut. Some of the veterans may have just been released from the forces and, during the transition period of, let's say, up to 24 months, or sometimes longer, were retraining. Maybe they're suffering a knee, ankle, or shoulder injury. These people probably will have moved on with their lives and are no longer collecting the benefit.
I think the biggest focus has to be on the most seriously disabled veterans. These are the ones who cannot work for the rest of their lives. They are the ones who will be collecting this earnings loss benefit to help compensate them in some limited form for the lost potential that they had.
So yes, it's very important that this strong signal be sent out by amending this back to 2006, because this new Veterans Charter is supposed to be a new start in recognizing what our Canadian Forces have given up for Canada. It's extremely important that we amend this from the beginning, or else the new Veterans Charter will continue to fall into disrepute.
