As background to that, the veterans independence program was first created in 1981. We subsequently did create expanded eligibility for the continuation of the program for survivors of veterans when certain benefits were in place. However, as has been recognized, there was no potential to put those benefits in place for survivors of veterans who either died before the program was in place or who were not in receipt of benefits even though they may have died after 1981.
The focus of the change that was addressed in the last budget was to bring provisions in place so that such survivors could receive benefits. Specifically, the benefits that were put in place are the grounds maintenance and housekeeping. The focus of this was such that the veteran, had they been alive, would essentially need to have been eligible to receive the program had the program been in place before their death. That's a fairly simple determination for us.
It then becomes a matter of eligibility for the survivor. There are two routes to that eligibility. The eligibility is focused on those who are most needy. It focuses first on those who have a disability or have a low income. There are tests related to both of those. If one or the other of those criteria are met, then we can put grounds maintenance or housekeeping, or both, in place up to an annual maximum of $2,400.
Basically, that was the provision you referred to in Budget 2008.
