Mr. Speaker, decades of financial mismanagement of pension benefits of thousands of foreign disabled veterans by veterans affairs has finally been exposed.
Witness the case of Joseph Authorson, a World War II vet unable to manage his pension who trusted the government to properly administer his finances. He and potentially thousands of veterans have been denied millions of dollars in interest owed to them.
The Department of Justice is notorious for lengthy and protracted lawsuits. Is the minister prepared to settle this issue quickly, or will she follow the usual path of denial and delay?
