Mr. Speaker, in the throne speech the government paid homage to Allied war veterans. Allied war veterans, who have been Canadian citizens since the 1940s and 1950s, have helped build the Canada we have today. They have paid taxes on their hard-earned income over the years, but do not have the same access to the Ste. Anne's Hospital as other veterans. Why not? The hospital has empty beds.
In the House of Commons on March 19th, 2010. See this statement in context.
