I can tell you anecdotally, from what we have noticed over the last while, that the system, certainly at first application, seems to have become more generous.
I can give you a couple of concrete examples, one that is more immediate and one that has taken a little more time.
I will use the issue of sexual harassment. Years ago, when someone was harassed in the Canadian Armed Forces, whether it was a male or female member, the powers that be sort of rolled it off as “Well, these are a bunch of guys. That's what happens.” With time, and the sensitivities growing around that issue, both the department and the board have moved along with the tide, with society, to essentially say that it is unacceptable and won't be tolerated.
The other thing that has changed on that issue is that, in the past, they may have agreed that there was sexual harassment there and that it was not acceptable, but it wasn't in the line of duty. It wasn't as part of your job. Therefore, you don't qualify. That, again, has moved to the veteran's benefit, where they recognize now that if it happens while you are on duty, the employer is responsible. Therefore, it happened as a result of duty.
I am probably running out of time on this answer.
