Mr. Speaker, acting on recommendations is the same as partially implementing. That is what the ombudsman said.
We have the minister's colourful responses to our questions and we then have the facts. The fact is the minister has not co-operated with the ombudsman. He tried to warn the ombudsman in September, saying he should not advocate for Canadian Forces members. That is also a fact. Just as with the veterans ombudsman, Conservatives are stonewalling, claiming a whole variety of documents are somehow magically cabinet records, even though they have nothing to do with ministers.
We are talking about ensuring benefits for injured soldiers. Will the minister now relent and let the ombudsman find the truth?
