Mr. Speaker, yesterday we learned that in recent years, the Conservatives have paid more than a half million dollars in bonuses to executives at Veterans Affairs.
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 employees lost their jobs in that department, which has resulted in cuts to services. Furthermore, $1 billion that should have gone to help veterans was put back into the treasury.
Why are the Conservatives rewarding executives, the ones who laid off staff and who talk about saving money on the backs of veterans?
