Mr. Speaker, it is important to note that of our CF members and their families, 20% of them live in private married quarters, or PMQs, and 80% of them live off base. Also, for those who live on base in the PMQs, $400 million has been put into those houses. Another $120 million will be put in over the next three years. Is that enough? That is the best we can do for now.
We recognize full well that there are problems in some of these homes. We are committed to working together to ensure that we improve the homes and the PMQs. However, we will look at this as part of a larger package, including the pay raises that are coming across very soon for all members, the tax-free exemption that they receive when they are working abroad in high-risk zones, and other benefits that we are working on, including the health care package, which will be very important, not only for the CF members but their families.
We will continue as a government to work hard to improve the standard of living for our CF members. We thank them for the hard work that they do for Canadians across our country.
