Mr. Speaker, such fine speeches, but the reality is that the Conservatives continue to balance their budget on the backs of heroes who risked their lives for our country, which is what they did with the veterans' funeral and burial program.
I asked the minister yesterday why less than 30% of the budget for the funeral assistance program had been disbursed. He said that he had doubled the limits of the program.
What is the point of doubling the limits of a program when veterans and their families are not even eligible for it?
