Minister, it's so great to have you here.
Just before I ask you a direct question or two, I would mention that in my previous life as mayor I wanted to reacquaint Hamiltonians with their military heritage. To that end we renamed the war memorial park, Gore Park, Veterans' Place. That was done by General Maisonneuve in 2006, and then last year the complete redesign was completed and Geordie Elms was there to help celebrate that. I found out this morning that the redesign of our Veterans' Place has just won a national architectural award for effective design of a public space. So you know that the concerns of veterans are well in hand in the city of Hamilton, and certainly by us here on the committee.
Having said that, I'd like to point out that budget 2016 states that the calculation of the earnings loss benefit will be amended. Can you clarify the changes that have been made to the base pay specifications and how that will impact those currently in receipt of the benefit and those who will eventually receive it?
