There are a number of ways that we do communicate with veterans. The broadest way is Salute!, our newsletter, which has a distribution list of approximately 250,000 veterans and, in some cases, survivors, those receiving benefits with whom we have had contact and have agreed to provide us with their mailing address for receipt of the newsletter.
Salute! reaches 250,000 of the veterans, but you're quite right, that's not the full number. The full number is probably between 700,000 and 800,000 veterans living in the country today.
There has been discussion of compiling a nominal roll of veterans. It's quite an expensive exercise. It's quite challenging. Of course, there would be the ongoing challenge of maintaining it as people change locations, move, change contact information, and also, of course, pass away. But there has been discussion of trying to assemble that for a variety of program purposes in the department.
We do have, in addition to Salute!, some ways of communicating with veterans. Each of our local offices for Canada Remembers compiles, as they deal with veterans, lists of people who would like to be contacted by us when we're organizing ceremonies. Certainly here in Ottawa we have an extensive list of veterans. We understand what their service was so that as we organize events to commemorate particular anniversaries, we're able to invite veterans who served in that battle or that campaign in particular to make them aware of events that are taking place at the National War Memorial.
But it is a challenge.
