Thank you.
If you're about to discuss it later...Dr. MacKinnon is a family physician in Halifax who has voluntarily decided to limit her practice to veterans only, and she gave a very compelling presentation to us in Halifax.
Mr. Parent, I appreciate that several times today you've mentioned the funeral and burial program and the underfunding, and there have been excellent questions from Mr. Lobb and Mr. Lizon on this topic.
You've put lights around this in one or some of your reports. It was one of the specific recommendations of this committee in our last report. I've pressed the minister in question period on at least a couple of occasions about this. What explanation have you received with respect to the intransigence of the government on this issue?
