Actually, I can go back to 2009. The New Veterans Charter Advisory Group was set up by this government in 2007. One of the more fundamental priorities that we identified was eliminating the SISIP program as part of VAC's income replacement culture.
Just quickly, Mr. Chair, when this act was passed in 2006, there were restraints placed on what VAC could do because of the SISIP program. We were touching on that. But the 75% of income, the age 65 termination date, the 2% cap on inflation, and no probable career earnings were all part of the insurance program. It had to be borrowed at that time in order to get the charter through, but we're still living with it almost 10 years later.
It has to go, to be very blunt.
