There is not a list of veterans in Canada. There is no list that exists of all veterans in Canada. There has never been a business purpose for compiling one. In the government, we don't compile a list unless there is a specific business purpose for it; you have to have reasons for collecting data, under the Privacy Act.
We have lists of veterans who have applied for services and who are receiving benefits from the department. We have lists of veterans who have indicated to us that they would like to be involved in ceremonies, and we contact them at every occasion. We have a distribution list of about 250,000 for Salute!, which reaches many veterans across the country. There are approximately 750,000 or 800,000 veterans in the country today. So we reach as many as we can in as many ways as we can. We use our website to promote events in communities across the country, and we use as many ways as possible to encourage people to go to our website and become aware of events in their communities.
You had asked whether teachers can order the materials in printed form or whether they have to download them and print them. The materials are available in print form in bulk, and they can order them by telephone, on our website, or by contacting our offices, but by telephone and through our website are the main ways they order them. They can also download them from the website if they prefer, but the easier way, with the size and format, is to order from us. We have an ordering system that gets the material to them very quickly.
