First of all, let me say that it's my understanding that Veterans Affairs Canada has already taken the initiative to go out to all of those veterans who have been turned down. And actually, just a couple of days ago we received a comment from somebody in B.C. who wrote to the local ALS Society, saying, “Guess what I just got in the mail--a retroactive cheque”. They have no idea how it ultimately happened, but it doesn't matter. It's on the table.
It certainly makes good sense to be proactive in communicating to the veterans community that there has been a change in the policy from almost a universal denial—and then having to go through the appeal process when you have a lot on your plate—to the circumstance now where they're being looked at and being granted.
There is a lack of awareness. It's a big country. Not everybody is following that news. So in some fashion, getting the message out, we are doing what we can, and it's on our website.... The Veterans Affairs documentation will be on our website shortly. But anything that can be done through Veterans Affairs or any other government agency to get the message out there....
A registry, you're right. We are working on an ALS registry, and we expect it's going to start up in the new year. The infrastructure is now in place, subject of course to privacy rules. There is no reason at all that veterans with ALS shouldn't be part and parcel of that.
