Mr. Speaker, there has been $182 million cut from the Department of Veterans Affairs' budget. This has made it most difficult for the veterans and their families.
Cuts to the last post fund have made it more difficult than some of the other cuts because it costs a lot more today to bury a veteran than it did 10 years ago.
Once again I ask the minister to please take a look at the last post fund to see if there is not some way we can bring back dignity for the veterans.
