Mr. Speaker, this government believes that each and every ill and injured soldier and veteran is a Canadian hero and they and their families deserve our support to help deal with new challenges.
We are allocating $2 billion to provide enhanced allowances to those who have been seriously injured.
Today our government announced the legacy of care platform to further increase the assistance that we offer to severely injured Canadian Forces personnel and their families.
We will be providing barrier-free transitional housing to those Canadian Forces members who are in rehabilitation.
During that time we will assist by providing support for day-to-day living challenges such as transportation to medical appointments, child care and respite care.
This government recognizes the valuable contributions military families provide those members recovering from serious injuries.
I am proud to be part of a government that supports our military personnel and our veterans.
This government is listening and acting.
