That pretty much tells us everything we need to know. That's what they're looking for. Clearly, that's not what we're being told Veterans Affairs is prepared to do. When I asked the minister this same question, she refused to even answer it. I appreciate that you gave an answer. It's the wrong answer, frankly, but it's an answer at least.
Having said that, I move the following motion:
That, given the large workload the committee has on the docket, the committee instruct the Chair to book five meetings during the summer months between July 8 and September 13, while the House is adjourned, to deal with issues such as:
the effects of the cost-of-living crisis on Veterans,
how the poor treatment of Canadian Veterans directly impacts military retention and recruitment,
the scandal surrounding the National Monument to the Mission in Afghanistan,
the growing problem of homelessness amongst Veterans, and
the study concerning Wartime Service designation;
other pressing matters as they emerge.
