- My Squadron Clerks told me what I was entitled to. TBS set the standards and DND followed them. Perhaps the senators should get an Orderly Room staffed with a few hard assed RMS clerks to do their claims. Anything excessive gets denied and comes out of their pay.

- My counsellor was a retired Medic working for SISIP, Manulife as the insurer provides program funding. VAC doesn't enter into my Voc Rehab. Are we talking two different programs here?

- A lot of those foreign workers mysteriously disappear just before the return boat docks. They have a health card and contacts in their clan community and they are laying low. - If they do leave, maybe your average high school and university students can now claim their part time jobs back...

- Not sure how much of that was the LGR, how much was the FRT and how much was Licensing. It would be interesting to know how much money is being saved right now.
