Mr. Speaker, I have another example of the callous disregard the government shows toward our military men and women.
Just recently men and women, the most lowest paid in our military, received a 2.5% increase. The Lord giveth. Now the Lord taketh away. Now their housing rents have been increased by $50, $75 and $100, which nullifies the raise they just got.
Our military is plagued with bad morale. It is tough to recruit new people into our military. With an attitude like the minister displays for those men and women it is no wonder it is difficult.
Will the minister at least roll back the increases on the housing costs to our military men and women?
