Many of our recommendations would solve this situation, such as, for example, providing better access to impairment allowances, as we stated in our report. Even though Bill C-55, the Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act made improvements to the impairment allowance, access is still very restricted. Opening up access to that allowance would correct some problems.
I also stated that increasing the earnings loss benefit from 75% to 90% would give these veterans an opportunity to increase their retirement income. It would therefore be proactive.
We would like the department to consider these options.
