Yes, and you noticed in my presentation I said "a veteran is a veteran is a veteran". That's my firm belief. That's the belief of the Last Post Fund. However, that is not the reality of the government program that we administer. We do the best we can with what we have. There is a subtle distinction, which is maybe not clearly understood, in how veterans are treated by Veterans Affairs Canada.
The traditional veteran is eligible for programs because of his service. It's called service-based. So if you were a World War II veteran and went overseas, you were eligible for a whole range of programs, the last of which is their funeral and burial program.
If you're a modern-day veteran, as was passed in the recent act—the act has a long, long name, and I won't bore you with it--this particular act is needs-based. The veteran has to demonstrate that there is a need for some assistance and then that need is answered by Veterans Affairs Canada.
As you would expect, many modern-day veterans who are superannuates would not have a financial need to have the funeral and burial benefit, but some would and some do. So there is quite a distinction between the types of eligibility requirements of Veterans Affairs Canada, one being service-based—all you had to do was serve. But the modern-day people—those since Korea—are needs-based.
Does that help make it clear for you?
