Veterans Affairs committee  Shitcan it.

Veterans Affairs committee  That way, you're going to increase the quality of life for the veteran. He can depend on that monthly pension coming in. You give a man suffering from PTSD...

Veterans Affairs committee  Pensions. Go back to pensions.

Veterans Affairs committee  Go ahead and take that.

Veterans Affairs committee  I don't understand the question. Say that again.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  Okay, I'm going to give you the answer. I, for one, need drugs, a lot of drugs--

Veterans Affairs committee  So DVA tells me to go to the doctors' offices in town to ask if they have any free samples.

Veterans Affairs committee  And I was lucky.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  Everything that comes after that is not covered.

Veterans Affairs committee  You don't have to thank me, sir. It was an honour.

Veterans Affairs committee  Open up more veterans hospitals.

Veterans Affairs committee  We know there's patronization going on. A blind man would see the patronization going on. The people filling the slots in high authority positions within the VA are coming from patronization. You get a man who was a news reporter or an actor or a big-time lawyer filling in these positions of authority, making final decisions on my quality of life.
