Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to support this bill. However, for several reasons the NDP believes that it does not go far enough. In my riding, I meet a lot of veterans and their families. These veterans and their loved ones have to cope with a lot of problems. They feel that they do not get enough support from the government.
The government decided to cap its training spending at $2 million over five years. That is a way of restricting access to the program.
Why did the government decide once again to balance the budget on the backs of our veterans?
