Mr. Speaker, I am embarrassed to hear such an answer like that from the government when the poor merchant navy vets are right here.
Let me tell him that they are not equal. That is why the minister wants to bring in new legislation which he was supposed to bring in June.
The Minister of Veterans Affairs cares so little that he is on a little trip in Korea. These men are still on a hunger strike. The minister does not care for these veterans. All I ask from the Prime Minister is will he replace him and put someone in who does care for them?
