That was the change when the current Liberal government took over. There was a discussion—this is a lesson in not using proper policy definitions—in which veterans stated they wanted the pension for life. They didn't very specifically state they wanted the monthly tax-free disability benefit from the Pension Act. They got a 100% increase in benefits, from 20% to 40%, and they stretched that over a lifetime. However, it is still just 40% of what wartime service and the RCMP get.
Thank you.
