Mr. Speaker, last May, the Minister of Veterans Affairs announced a series of legislative and regulatory measures concerning the veterans independence program, among other things. Regulations passed quietly on June 18 exclude 23,000 widows from this program.
At last week's Liberal caucus meeting, the Prime Minister reportedly promised to go to bat for these widows overlooked in the June 18 regulations. Could the Prime Minister tell us today how he intends to correct this unacceptable injustice to women?
