I don't think we're getting enough attention from anybody—from the politicians, from Veterans Affairs. I don't know; anyone I speak to, it goes dead.
We've never even had an answer from the submission we made two or three years ago to government, to the Department of Veterans Affairs, concerning the proposal that was done for the Hong Kong veterans and the merchant navy. To go on that line, the people who deserve it get it. That's it.
It's not fair that just first nations guys get $20,000. It's not fair to the Métis and non-status and Inuit. We're still aboriginal people, and that's entrenched in the Constitution. But we didn't receive it and we weren't told why. The department made their own decisions on how they were going to receive it.
That's another thing. As I said before, they had to jump through hoops to get that money. I had to help one person from northern Ontario get his $20,000.
