It was a letter from the stakeholders on the Veterans Affairs Canada stakeholder committee. They are from all the veterans groups, including the Royal Canadian Legion, the ANAVETS, the National Council of Veteran Associations, CAVUNP, CPVA, and Veterans of Canada. We all signed a demand letter asking the minister to consider the special needs advisory group recommendations, the new Veterans Charter advisory group recommendations, and the geriatric advisory group recommendations. We are demanding that these recommendations that have been talked about for six years, since they brought in the new Veterans Charter, be implemented.
Right now, in this meeting, we've talked about geriatric treatment and benefits. This has been going around and around in circles for six years. There have already been hundreds and thousands of dollars paid out to veterans groups to talk about these issues and to come up with recommendations through these committees. It's time to stop talking about them and start putting some into action.
The stakeholders committee has demanded that the minister implement these recommendations.
