In case anyone is interested, I've been trying to record everything that was in the bag, and roughly the price. The Air Canada form asks for "Original Purchase Price." I've tried to recall or search for something like that whenever I could. Obviously, sometimes it wasn't appropriate.
It's a lot of money I'm due, according to my calculations, over $1000 USD ($200 of which would go to
starnaman, since it was her bag.
