Mr. Speaker, this is the third fiscal year that we are in regarding compassionate care. It is not a brand new program.
The review has been going on for a year now. The appeal board said that the minister needs to review this issue as an urgent and critical matter because time is sensitive.
This is an example of why Canadians have lost trust in the government: empty promises and empty words instead of action.
These people cannot wait. The government cut the funding from $191 million last year to $11 million this year. That is the type of review that the Liberals are doing: empty and broken promises.
When will the minister do the right thing and bring about the changes? The review board staff said she has the discretion to do that. We are waiting for her. When will she do it? I get empty answers. Something has to happen and it has to happen now. When will it happen?
