In my own riding, I'm thinking of a Mr. Meier and another gentleman, Mr. Morrissette, one of whom was a Second World War veteran and the other was a peacetime veteran. He may have been a peacekeeper; he was in Germany, so he may not have been a peacekeeper per se, but it was post-war service. In both cases, their injuries were undocumented. They were young and possibly in the early stages of their service, and they may have tried, in the event of an injury—in one case it was a knee, and in the other case a gentleman fell off a truck because it moved while he was on the back of it—and there was a lack of support, as they would say, in terms of documenting the incident. Later on, when these injuries manifested themselves as they got older, they couldn't go back. There was no file, or there was an insufficient file to support their cases.
Is there a way around that? Is the notion of benefit of the doubt appropriate? What level of proof does a veteran have to provide, without a file or a complete file, in order to access services? It would seem to me that if somebody swore an affidavit, that might be sufficient.
Could you talk about the documentation? Maybe it applies to your veterans and maybe it doesn't.
