I can only imagine what veterans must be feeling watching this. I find this incredibly frustrating. Everybody else knows this is a cut, and you're sitting there trying to tell us it's not. It is just shocking.
I guess there's not much point continuing down that line. You're just going to continue to read your talking points, and veterans are going to continue to be frustrated.
Let me ask this instead. You mentioned in your opening remarks, almost in code, the military honours review board. There have been calls, unanimously from this committee, and also from the Senate and from various provinces in this country, for this military honours review board. You mentioned that there was going to be a comprehensive response to the petition. You didn't indicate whether that would be a positive response or not.
Does the government plan to create a military honours review board so that heroes like Jess Larochelle and others can finally have the chance to receive the Victoria Cross, which they deserve?
