So, we are talking about the negative effects of this new charter. Just now, you said that your base rate was to give veterans 75% of their salary. You know that, in Quebec, a workplace accident victim gets 90% of his net salary. I do not know what workplace accident victims get in other provinces, nor what you are basing your rate of 75% on. Is it the net salary or the before-tax salary? Really, the 75% that you are giving to veterans, which is taxable as well, leaves very little in their pockets. They might be left with 45% of their salary. I do not see anyone surviving decently on 45% of their salary after an accident that has disabled them for the rest of their lives.
If I understand the system correctly, if a person is disabled for the rest of his life, he gets a lump sum of $274,000 or $276,000—I do not recall the exact amount—plus a gross income that corresponds to 75% of the amount he used to earn. For a 20-year-old with 45 years to go before getting a pension, $276,000 is not a lot on an annual basis. And if that person receives 75% of what he used to earn, how is going to live, to pay for his house, his groceries, his car and everything else? If we listen to you, these people are living like kings, but that it not what is happening in reality. I would like to know what you think.
