Mr. Chairman, I believe your question was whether we were consulted about Bill C-55.
I wasn't in my position back then. My predecessor, Lorne McCartney, would have been the Dominion secretary-treasurer at that time. I would assume that if ANAVETS and the NCVA and the Legion and the other veterans organizations were consulted, we likely would have had different priorities from what you found in Bill C-55 at the time, but that is what came out of it.
So we would have been consulted, but—I cannot say this for certain, so you'd have to ask my predecessor—my guess would be that our priorities, as given at that consultation, would have been not quite the ones that came out in Bill C-55.
