It's always like that. We have spent hours with veterans during our studies, and we heard about the collateral damage from the lack of services and inequalities.
I have a bit of time, so I'd like to pick up on that. I have so many questions for you.
How come the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP are exempt from the 15% reduction target, but Veterans Affairs Canada isn't?
What message does that send?
I'm speaking as a Bloc member who stands up for veterans from coast to coast.
