My concern is that we're not resourcing what we need just to deal with core services. You're making a lot of promises to bring in new programs and whatnot, and we still haven't addressed the core needs in terms of the services and benefits that veterans need.
We saw huge cuts under the Conservatives in 2012. We're far from that number in terms of full-time staff at Veterans Affairs Canada who deliver services that veterans need. I know you committed this money, this $42.8 million. Is it for temporary jobs, or is it for permanent jobs in this department?
Veterans are concerned that we're going to be here again in two years.
