Mr. Speaker, that is utter rubbish, indeed.
Assuming that the member actually read the budget officer's report, I invite him to take a read of his quote: “In addition to the increased reimbursement for Canadian veterans' families for funeral expenses under the new program rules, additional expenses like ceremonial services and transportation costs are now eligible”.
Truth be known, we have one of the best programs available to veterans and their families. That member and his party have consistently not supported us.
