- Parties: The appellant was Jean-Kyle Bienvenu. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada. 

- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to set aside an order dismissing the appellant's judicial review application of a Veterans Affairs decision denying the appellant the Education and Training Benefit under Part 1.1 of the Veterans Well-Being Act, 2005. The application sought to declare s. 5.01 (relating to the interpretation of “service” for reserve force veterans) of the Veterans Well-being Regulations, SOR/2006-05 ultra vires. The order allegedly failed to liberally interpret the Veterans Well-Being Act. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Jan. 21, 2025. 

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal. 

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
