I have started to ask several comrades of mine to give me copies of pending files and to tell me how long it has been since they first submitted their application for compensation and care. Some have been waiting for 3, 4 or 5 years. I have started to compile data, except that I need all the guys to give me the information and photocopy the files. Most of them do not have them at hand because they get them only after the decisions are made. I am trying to get all the information I can. It is very difficult to get everything in such a short time. But, yes, we have started to put files together.
When we started, that was not the goal of the organization. We did not want to get that deeply into it, but we saw that there was an awful gap. So we are now going for it. We established Veterans UN-NATO Canada to help our comrades and, as you now see, we have to come to Ottawa to give evidence because we can see the gap and no one is there to represent us anymore.
