Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. McColeman's question got my attention.
You replied that if the widow was a millionaire, she would not be entitled to services. I would like you to tell me why, because it does not make sense. If her husband was a veteran who served his country, why would she not be entitled to these services? I don't understand the concept.
I am not saying that she should be entitled to all services, but she should certainly be entitled to some of them, such as having her lawn mowed and housekeeping services. If the Prime Minister is rich, will he have his pension taken away from him? I have a problem with that. I think that everyone should be treated equally, unless I have misunderstood how the veterans affairs system works.
Your presentation is entitled “Continuum of Care: Programs and Progress”, but I don't see any progress here. If you say that she is not entitled to services, then that is not progress, it is a step backwards.
