Two years ago, a change was made to the rehabilitation services at Veterans Affairs Canada. An envelope approach is now used, where a total benefit amount is provided to cover the costs of providing services to an individual for a maximum period of four years. SISIP's disability policy uses a different approach, and no changes have been made so as to harmonize it with the VAC program.
As I said earlier, our approach is based on the initial 24 months, and that includes a specific amount for education, travel, Internet, book and other costs. Frankly, the amounts and the approaches are very similar. The Veterans Affairs Canada program was actually created in 2006 with the SISIP program serving as a model.
