Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' hypocrisy has reached new lows.
They love to talk about how they have increased budgets for veterans over the past few years, but they forget that 5% to 8% of Veterans Affairs Canada's budget goes unspent every year.
That portion of the budget just gets sent back to the public treasury: $1.1 billion allocated to veterans for compensation and services has been used for other purposes. That is disgusting.
Why are the Conservatives breaking their promises to veterans by cutting the committed budgets?
