Mr. Speaker, I thank my robust colleague across the way for his comments.
The member was talking about those who are being disadvantaged. In fact, we have done more for poverty-stricken and low income individuals in Canada.
Let us talk about the new veterans charter. When the Liberals were in government, they did none of these things to help our veterans who were sometimes up against the wall. There are now disability awards to recognize veterans' pain, suffering and injury of $800 to $285,000. As well, with the earnings lost benefit, income replacement while in rehabilitation, 75% have seen a minimum of $40,000, and, in fact, the top part is non-taxable. Also, the amount for death benefits was not as high as it is now at $285,000, which is non-taxable.
I list just a couple of things the government has done so far. I would not mind my colleague's response and hope that he would support it.
