On getting the word up the food chain, to use those words, a president of our association in Ontario in one of our smaller divisions had cancer of the bladder. He felt that it might have been from the forensic identification duties he was on, particularly involving fingerprint powders. We went to VAC with a submission.
It took 23 months to make a decision on it. They hired a company called Cantox to look into it, and sure enough, their decision was that this material did cause the cancer. That resulted in several of our executive people across the country receiving a pension from VAC, because they also had bladder cancer. Most of them had the bag outside their body and that sort of thing.
However, it brings up the question of the others, the 16,500 who maybe aren't in the loop and don't know about this sort of thing. I was very pleased that he received good reimbursement for something he suffered during his service, but it only goes so far. It's getting it out to the others. It's education and touching base with people.
