Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member that I have brought it to her attention and I have no resolution.
An 81-year-old widow in Winnipeg is being denied her husband's chemical testing compensation. Veterans Affairs will not give her the $24,000 compensation package because her husband of almost 50 years died without a will. No will, no money.
It seems that any excuse will do when it comes to our veterans. Why would the minister not pay that war widow and the many others who cared for these men all of their lives?
