Minister, when I sit in this chair and look at veterans and hear that costs are being cut and that veterans are not being provided the service, there are questions. Right now, the math is not lining up here, so let's do some math together.
With 94% of your budget going to veterans benefits, that leaves 6% for operations, approximately $468 million. The Prime Minister wants 7% cuts across government, which would be $546 million from your total budget. You claim that no services will be cut, yet achieving a 7% savings would require eliminating your entire operational budget, and then some. Can you reconcile these numbers for me?
