The reason we recommend 90%, which is equivalent to net income before release, is the fact that the family and the veteran are going through a very traumatic period of their lives because they are leaving a culture of being well looked after and going into civilian life.
Before they do anything, as they are preparing for that transition, the first thing we do is cut off 30% of their salary. Obviously that's not a very good thing to do. What we're talking about is the earnings loss is simply the amount of money that is given to them while they are training and doing their vocational rehabilitation. As soon as they have a job, that goes away. They are not given that.
I'm not sure when you mentioned the Ontario workers' compensation board whether this is money they give while the individual is training or if it is compensation for injury.
This is the reason for the 90%. While they are undergoing vocational rehabilitation training, they should have at least the same financial security they had before they left the forces.
