With veterans and still-serving members, most of them are eligible to continue their public service health care plan, which they start during the military. Many have coverage through that. Not everybody does, but many do. There are problems with it when a spouse marries over 60, but I'll leave that aside for now.
In terms of the question about whether they're favourable to it, every little bit is going to help, definitely. Could it come out faster for some? Yes. With veterans, when they have disabilities, if it's agreed that it was caused by their service, they're covered for health care benefits through Veterans Affairs Canada. For example, if somebody hurt their back during service, any treatment they need for their back over the rest of their life will be covered.
It doesn't affect service-related disabilities, but for other things like eyeglasses, dental, things like that, it will help those who are not in receipt of the public service health care plan or the dental plan that we have.
