Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the minister for being here and answering our questions.
In another appearance, Veterans Affairs Canada officials told us about the telemedicine pilot project.
Our veterans and their families have sacrificed so much for our country. We have a solemn and sacred duty to support our veterans, who have served courageously and honourably.
We know how hard it can be for a veteran transitioning to civilian life to find a doctor. When they were in the Canadian Armed Forces, a number of veterans received their health care directly from the forces. Telemedicine is a good way to make health care more accessible. That's why I was happy to see this pilot project in budget 2024. I also know that the Conservatives have already stated that they wouldn't support the extension of the telemedicine pilot project.
Can you tell us more about this measure and why it's important for veterans?
