The problem with the new charter is that the disability pensions would disappear, the life pensions would disappear. When I was told that if you died, your next of kin—I guess your mother or your wife or whoever you had on your will—would receive $250,000, I thought, “There's the money; go away and don't bother us anymore.” That's the impression our Korea veterans had of what was going to occur. Notwithstanding the fact that Parliament decided that we'd look after them healthwise for the rest of their lives, that health—or rather, disability—benefit was going to disappear.
