My understanding is that the government made a commitment that they were going to do right by veterans in this regard. My concern is that the government, your department, continues to withhold moneys that should be paid out to those veterans.
I have to tell you, especially with the recent news about how government departments have failed to spend upwards of $10 billion annually over the past three years out of budgets approved by Parliament, it doesn't give me great confidence to hear you say you have this money in your budget and you're trying to do well by veterans.
This is something that veterans and veterans advocates and people in our caucus will continue to talk to you about.
I have a couple of other questions.
