Mr. Speaker, Sue Riordon has been fighting to have her husband's pension benefits increased in light of the fact that doctors have said that he is 90% to 100% disabled. Her husband, Terry, suffers from gulf war syndrome.
It seems coincidental that since she testified at the SCONDVA hearings in Halifax that their claim has been denied. This is yet another example of how the government is ignoring its veterans.
Will the Minister of Veterans Affairs explain why he is ignoring the doctors' recommendations by refusing to provide Terry with a full military pension?
