Would you like me to go first?
Monsieur Chicoine, that's an excellent question.
In my report I have some very specific recommendations. First of all, let's treat them as equals. Give veterans and family members their own identification card so that they can access programs independently. The first program to access independently should be health care costs for the family. Those should not be pegged to the disability of the veteran and they should not be pegged to whether that veteran seeks benefits at this point under a treatment program. They should be able to seek those benefits for treatment independently, especially if it's a totally and permanently incapacitated veteran. That's without question.
The next thing is I think we should entertain the fact that, at the very least, they require their own independent attendant allowance, a benefit that they receive for being a family member of a totally and permanently incapacitated veteran.
I would also recommend that, during the initial two-year transition after the military, they perhaps be given access to the earnings loss program. That's when the toll on the family will be greatest, as they all learn to adjust to these new circumstances.
