Not exactly, because a serving member of the RCMP right now, if injured on duty or through illness, will be getting certain benefits. Under the Pension Act, we already have benefits that follow us through our service; they follow us right to retirement. An injury that happened in your service may not show up until 20 years later through cumulative processes. Today's members are tomorrow's veterans. If you take away our provisions under the Pension Act and they come under provincial health care, then we're going to have different benefits in retirement.
