There was some other testimony from the last meeting on this study that I want to draw to your attention to. It came from a couple of veterans who appeared before the committee and indicated that Charlottetown was far away from vets and politics and “the wrong place to be”. It was “hidden...away on a little island so conveniently far away that it's too far for a veteran to know they're being served properly.”
It doesn't matter to me whether it's you, Madam Minister, or your deputy, but I would ask you to respond to those comments as to whether it is a disservice to veterans to have the national headquarters of the Department of Veterans Affairs located outside the national capital region. Thank you.
