Mr. Speaker, the veterans charter, proposed by a good New Democrat member of this Parliament, was brought forward and we thought the government was going to be serious about it, but it turns out that was not the case.
In fact, we are seeing that action is simply not happening, except that the Prime Minister saw fit to go to a veterans food bank in Calgary for a photo-op. Does he not realize that if he was doing his job to look after the veterans of this country and their families, there would not be a need for a veterans food bank?
Why do Conservatives not start taking action and backing up their rhetoric with some deeds?
