There may be some instances of that. The retention of medical records has become much better in recent years because the Canadian Forces has made a greater effort to keep that documentation. It's fair to say they have come to recognize the importance of a complete medical record. The problem comes when somebody, 25 years ago, was running across a field during training, sprained an ankle, and was out for a couple of days. It was no big deal, so they didn't fill out the medical form the CF requires to be filled out. It's not until years later that the person aggravates the injury and realizes it goes way back to when the person was injured while running across a field. We then have to figure out how we go back now, lacking that official Canadian Forces medical report, and provide that kind of evidence. That's one example. Charles could probably give more detail than that.
