HOUSE OF COMMONS CANADA A TIMELY TUNE-UP FOR THE LIVING NEW VETERANS CHARTER Report of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs David Sweet, MP Chair JUNE 2010 40th PARLIAMENT, 3rd SESSION Published under the authority of the Speaker of the House of Commons SPEAKER’S PERMISSION Reproduction of the proceedings of the House of Commons and its Committees, in whole or in part and in any medium, is [...] The Committee held six meetings on the subject during the 2nd Session of the 40th Parliament and 13 more during the 3rd Session.1 The NVC was adopted unanimously in the House of Commons, and received Royal Assent on May 13, 2005. [...] The aim of the Pension Act was to alleviate the pain of the past. [...] Between 1955 and the early 1990s, the number of military members released for medical reasons was small, which in a way delayed an awareness of the deficiencies of the Pension Act in the context of a professional armed force. [...] Regardless of the legitimate criticisms made since of the means implemented to achieve those objectives, the NVC will always have the merit of having established this spirit of enhancing the well-being of veterans.
