Mr. Speaker, I recently met a disabled veteran who was wounded in training.
He was forced to retire two years early and is now living on a pension that has been reduced by 35%. The government promised him care and a dignified retirement. He was even offered snow-clearing and lawn-mowing services, even though he lives in a bachelor apartment on the fourth floor.
Can the minister explain why the $1 billion budget for veterans was transformed into a tax cut for the wealthy?
