Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome.
I want you to know that all of us on this committee have a vested interest in being on this committee, and we're here to make the new Veterans Charter absolutely the best it can be.
I'm just educating myself, plain and simple, so we can make the right decisions.
I'm looking at an individual case in the ombudsman's report. The Veterans Ombudsman noted that a 24-year-old medically released veteran with an 80% disability will receive $2 million just in financial benefits under the new Veterans Charter.
In this case, do you believe that $2 million is more than what that same veteran would have received under the Pension Act?
