" Increasing the Earnings Loss Benefit to provide income replacement of 90 per cent of gross pre-release military salary for injured veterans participating in Veterans Affairs Canada’s rehabilitation or vocational assistance program or with injuries preventing them from suitable and gainful employment.

Finally, the calculation of the minimum benefit would be amended to be based on a senior private’s salary instead of a basic corporal’s salary. " ("Growing the Middle Class" Budget 2016-2017)
