As we started CIMVHR, I personally was involved in the original analysis of Bill C-55, specifically as it pertained to special needs veterans. Those are people who are deemed to have a disability over 78%, as disabilities go. Is that terminology familiar to everybody?
Prior to that, in my academic capacity, I had sat on the special needs advisory group to the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically to the new Veterans Charter advisory group. At that time, we certainly found that the financial benefits were not equivalent for seriously disabled veterans, which is 1% of the veteran population, but they are the most seriously disabled. We found that the financial benefits were not equivalent.
In terms of supporting or not supporting the review, once again I would ask that you turn back to the evidence and to what you're hearing from the constituent populations. I think the ombudsman's reports as well are excellent and well done.
