There certainly were discussions with vets' organizations, and as may be sort of indicative of the discussion here even today, some agree with it and some disagree with it. So I wouldn't purport to suggest to you that there would be a consensus on it in terms of this as a solution. I think that, as was noted earlier, if you take the lump sum and you look at where the concerns have been, one of the biggest concerns that has been articulated around the lump-sum award goes to this issue of the risk of its being mismanaged.
Bill C-55 is an effort to try to ensure that there is flexibility in the payment modality, if you will, to give individuals who may be at risk some option in terms of how they will manage it. This was basically a compromise in terms of trying to address the very different interests that have been expressed on this issue.
As we noted earlier, it's a very complex issue because it goes to the fundamental basis of issues related to freedom of choice, to responsibility to manage one's own resources, and so on. The department is moving this, and the minister is supporting this as being a solution, as a good approach to assist individuals manage their lump-sum awards.
