I'll point out, Chair, that we asked for the officials to come at the end of this study and respond to what we've heard from veterans. That is not, in fact, what has occurred here.
I will simply indicate that I certainly hope you're going to be listening to the study, because I think what we've heard—in the bit we've heard so far—is that this is not the case. I don't think indigenous veterans feel they're being served appropriately. I hope you will be paying close attention to this study and that you'll make yourselves available to answer to the inadequacies we may hear about from veterans as we go forward in this study.
Again, I ask that you please provide information about whether any of VAC's benefits are income-tested against other programs that indigenous veterans may receive through their indigenous heritage. I would certainly indicate that it is absolutely inappropriate if veterans of indigenous heritage are having their benefits from VAC—or any other income—reduced as a result of their heritage. That is completely inappropriate.
You talked a lot about historic wrongs. There are current wrongs happening. I certainly hope your government is paying attention to those.
