Mr. Speaker, the reason the NDP will not support the government is because the government will not support injured soldiers.
Two DND ombudsmen asked that the SISIP for injured soldiers be fixed. The House passed a motion recommending that the SISIP for injured soldiers be fixed. For less than 2% of the federal surplus, this problem could have been fixed and these soldiers would not need to go to court to get the money they are rightfully owed.
Why did the government so carelessly and callously ignore the needs of these injured soldiers?
