Let me start by saying that the population is decreasing. With regard to Second World War veterans, happily, the rate of mortality is such that people have been living longer, and that's a good thing. But that doesn't in any way threaten the budget or the benefits, because, as I've noted, when we look at our in-year amounts of money that we have—starting off with an estimate, as noted in the RPP—we actually do make the adjustment. So if in fact the mortality of Second World War veterans...as Mr. Parent has noted, or if in fact we see far more modern-day veterans, the reality is that the budget will be adjusted accordingly.
In terms of the department, we do not have to go back and ask for additional cabinet authority. We don't have to ask for additional policy. Basically we go through a process with the Treasury Board Secretariat, and the amount of money to the department is increased because it's a statutory payment. If veterans present themselves at any of our offices and they need services, by law we must provide them with the services and benefits they need. Whether it be a disability award or rehabilitation, there is no risk of a veteran not being served.
