Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  Those who need to see it.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, I do.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  That's correct.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes. I think it's very important to note that they are estimates. That's why the government provides programs such as those for veterans, programs that, again, are referred to as quasi-statutory. In the year, we actually update our projections, because then it's a little closer to reality.

Veterans Affairs committee  That's correct.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes I have.

Veterans Affairs committee  Let me start by saying that the population is decreasing. With regard to Second World War veterans, happily, the rate of mortality is such that people have been living longer, and that's a good thing. But that doesn't in any way threaten the budget or the benefits, because, as I've noted, when we look at our in-year amounts of money that we have—starting off with an estimate, as noted in the RPP—we actually do make the adjustment.

Veterans Affairs committee  Keith Coulter was an independent assessor. I think that was the term. He actually did an assessment of the department and he filed a report back in the late summer of 2010, I think.

Veterans Affairs committee  No I don't.

Veterans Affairs committee  I will take that under advisement. I believe that may be subject to cabinet confidence, so I'll have to determine whether or not it is still under cabinet confidence.

Veterans Affairs committee  That is because it was advice to the Government of Canada at the time. Again, I will check to see whether or not it's still subject to cabinet confidence.

Veterans Affairs committee  No.
