Mr. Speaker, I asked the Minister of Veterans Affairs a week ago about the situation of a dedicated veteran, Fabien Melanson, who is on a hunger strike in my riding of Charlottetown.
The minister said, “I have instructed my officials to follow up on this veteran's case”.
Mr. Melanson has not heard from any officials at Veterans Affairs with regard to the specifics of his case and he has now gone 10 days without food.
Did the minister keep his word and instruct his officials to follow up with Mr. Melanson, yes or no?
