I'm going to say that, 30 years ago, when I spoke to my father—I came back to Saskatchewan while I was still in the service—I think the federal government offered him a compensation program of $10,000. This was quite a while ago. My dad said that he would take it, but it wasn't up to him. It ended up that he didn't get it. He told me, he said, “I will never see that money.” I told him I'd spend it for him but, of course, they granted it to my stepmother, which is great. He said that it was going to take too long to get payments, that it was just too much red tape, and it was. I think it was almost 20 years after he passed that he got something for it.
