Yes. Thank you for that important question.
Our Conservative government places the highest priority on making sure that veterans and their families have the support and services they need when they need them. Our government made significant progress in such key areas as long-term financial security, increased family support, and removing barriers of eligibility for certain financial benefits. For example, Canadian Armed Forces veterans who are moderately to seriously disabled as a result of their service will soon have additional benefits after age 65. There is also new money to support family caregivers, and those from the Canadian reserve force will receive fair financial benefits from the government.
These new initiatives are evidence of our government's commitment to ensuring that Canadian veterans and their families are treated with care, with compassion, and with respect. Since our government took office, benefits for veterans have gone in one direction—up. The Liberal Party, however, has voted against increased support for veterans' monthly income, such as the earnings loss program. They voted against new money to expand mental health clinics to more locations across the country. Yet they have no problem with an adviser who used over $70,000 of taxpayers' money to move down the street from one high-end home to another.
