Mr. Speaker, speaking of accountability, yet another source of assistance for Canadian Forces members in need of help has been found wanting.
Complaints of a poisonous work environment, 50% staff turnover and delays of up to five years to resolve issues of support for mental health needs, while soldiers returning from Afghanistan are more than ever seeking fair and just treatment from the government.
How can Canadian Forces members and their families have confidence that the government cares about their needs?
What will the minister and the government do to ensure that the office of the ombudsman does the job that it was set up to do?
