Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Veterans Affairs. In 1975 the government's task force said that it owed money on interest it had held in trust for disabled vets.
Again in 1985-86 the auditor general gave the same warning, but in 1990, rather than listening, the government passed a law saying that veterans could not sue for the money owed them.
Last year a judge said the government's law was illegal, but rather than act in the best interest of disabled vets the government has appealed the decision.
Will the minister now do the right thing and return the money owed to the vets, or will he drag this issue through the courts indefinitely?
