Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Prince Albert for his outstanding work with respect to our veterans as we are entering Veterans' Week soon.
Today, I formally asked the Public Service Commission to explore options to give our medically released Canadian Forces members hiring priority in the public service, to assist their transition into civilian life.
I also asked it to take the necessary measures to increase the number of Canadian Forces veterans within Veterans Affairs Canada.
These initiatives will help our men and women in uniform to transition into civilian life. This is still the beginning. There is still more to come for our vets.
