Mr. Speaker, the best way to honour our veterans is by listening to them.
The funeral and burial program has been very hard to access for years now, and yet nearly $1.2 million allocated to the program for 2013-14 was not spent. In other words, 12% of the $10 million allocated to the program was left unused, even though there is a desperate need.
Why did the government not use that money to improve access to the program?
