Mr. Speaker, after 54 years of denial of equality of opportunity for our merchant navy veterans, a Liberal committee offers an empty handshake and a promise that the veterans will be studied by college kids.
Who would seriously believe that this would be fair? The minister must do more to resolve the issue. We simply cannot have this bitterness taken to the graves of our veterans.
Will the minister confirm that he will provide these veterans with a more respectful and just settlement?
