Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for sharing her party's views on the funeral and burial program. What is very surprising is to see a member from the Liberal Party stand and put forward such a motion. It was the Liberal Party, while it was in government, that drastically cut benefits under this important program.
Nonetheless, our Conservative government will continue to stand up for our veterans. In fact, under the current program, more generous benefits are provided to our veterans and their families than our allies provide; more than is provided by the United Kingdom, by Australia, or by the United States. Now we have come forward with economic action plan 2013, which would more than double the amount of funding available to our veterans and their families for funerals.
Will the hon. member and her party vote in support of this important support for funerals and benefits in economic action plan 2013?
