Mr. Speaker, the only unfair thing about that is the very premise.
Through eight consecutive budgets, our government has invested almost $5 billion in new in funding to enhance veterans' benefits programs and services. Close to 90% of the department's $3.5 billion budget is going toward direct services and support for veterans and their families. Canadians can be very proud of our response to their issues.
That is eight consecutive budgets that those parties voted against. I am not surprised that the member would forget about that minor detail.
