Mr. Chair, we do have every intention of proceeding with an announcement very soon with respect to atomic veterans. This will be very much in keeping with our government's very proud record of dealing with some of these outstanding issues, like compensation for agent orange, a victims' ombudsman, a veterans' bill of rights.
I have had the opportunity to review the file since taking this position just over three months ago, and I'm very proud to say we met with the veterans affairs minister yesterday on this very issue. We hope to be making an announcement very soon that we think is in keeping with the generosity and the respect that this government holds for Canada's veterans, including those atomic veterans who performed exemplary service in putting themselves in that position to be exposed to atomic radiation.
