Mr. Speaker, it took a veteran's desperate act to make the minister agree to establish a consultative committee on veterans' health.
The minister promised Pascal Lacoste that the committee would be set up by December 8. That is in two weeks' time. However, we have heard absolutely nothing since he made the announcement. All we know is that the first topic of study will be the effects of exposure to depleted uranium.
Can the minister tell us who will sit on the committee in question and can he commit to tabling the committee's report in the House?
