As part of the work that was done around taking a look at what happened to aboriginal veterans when they came back at the end of World War II, we looked at first nations, Métis, and non-status.
Your question is with respect to Métis. We've done a fair amount of work with the National Métis Veterans Association, which received a substantial amount of money from the government to do a study on what happened to Métis veterans when they came back at the end of World War II.
They gave us a list of about 163 names of Métis veterans, and we did very exhaustive file reviews. I must say that Veterans Affairs has files going back to 1918, and everything is in the files.
As we looked at all of those files, we couldn't find anybody who did not receive the benefits they were entitled to at the end of World War II.
So the minister made the commitment that if a Métis veteran believes that they didn't get the benefits they were entitled to at the end of World War II, by all means come to the department. He's made the commitment that if we find somebody who didn't get the benefits they were entitled to, he would consider looking at providing them a payment, similar to the one to the first nations.
