The Manuge case fell under the mandate of the Minister of National Defence. It was a Department of National Defence issue. It was not a Veterans Affair Canada issue, at all. We were implicated only to the extent that it was the disability pension paid under Veterans Affairs Canada programming that was being offset through the SISIP program.
It's really quite different. To go back to a comment you made earlier, and with respect, it's really not a question in this context of an issue of error. Again, I think it's very important for the committee to consider that the decision to use the May 29, 2012 date, again, simply reflected a decision of government, as a matter of goodwill, to say that because of similar issues, similarities between the two, but in the absence of any legal requirement to do so, the offsetting would cease as of that date.
It was not a question of recognition of any error in how the programs were being administered, or indeed in terms of how the set-off was structured legislatively under those respective programs.
