We have provided some information in the deck regarding costs, which looks at expenditures of $12.8 million over the time period the benefits have been in place. When you're looking at those costs, it's important to understand these are new costs, over and above treatment that would have been provided in the old scheme.
I want to touch a bit on the difference in the nature of the treatment that was and is available. In the previous scheme we were able to provide medical treatment--physiotherapy, and those kinds of benefits--to an individual who had a disability pension. But we were only able to do that after they were in receipt of a disability pension, which sometimes meant they were waiting for six months or a year to get a pension that would enable the treatment. It was a benefit-driven type of system, where if they asked for the treatment and the doctor said they could have it, they would get it.
The way the system works now is much more proactive in terms of looking at what the person's needs are. The case manager is always involved with someone who is in rehabilitation. There is a multi-disciplinary group treating the client that the case manager liaises with. We're not just bound to treat the pensionable condition--for example, if someone has other types of health conditions that are creating barriers and that are interacting with the primary condition, we'll treat that as well. In the case of André, for example, if he is experiencing some depressive symptoms, some coping symptoms, we can help with that. We're not just going to provide him with what he needs for the amputation.
