Thank you very much for that question.
As you know, recognition is a key component of veterans' well-being. It can come in many forms: benefits and services, honouring and recognizing, and storytelling.
With regard to indigenous or diverse veterans, we're expanding that recognition. If you look on our website, you'll see dedicated pages telling the true history of what occurred among under-represented groups. We've built, over the last number of years, quite a few educational packages specifically relating to Black veterans, women veterans, 2SLGBTQI+ veterans and other marginalized groups.
We also have our commemorative partnership program. In 2021, the terms and conditions were changed to increase the eligible amount for projects that focus on commemorating or recognizing indigenous veterans. We're quite pleased with the significant take-up. As I mentioned in my opening remarks, a significant amount of money has gone into communities to tell that story.
As well, on behalf of the Department of National Defence, we have a dedicated stream of programming that focuses on Black veterans, with an emphasis on the No. 2 Construction Battalion and others, in order to make sure we're telling the story of their fantastic service. Perhaps these weren't as prevalent or as easy to find in the past, so there is a big effort on our part to make sure the information is readily available.
