Mr. Speaker, it is shameful. Respecting our official languages is not an option. It is the law.
If psychological support is not available when soldiers need it, that can lead to very serious consequences. The men and women who serve their country deserve respect and services.
National Defence itself acknowledged that relying on the Americans was not a long-term solution and posed some cultural and linguistic challenges. Nevertheless, nothing was done, even though there was a desperate need for psychological support.
What does the minister intend to do to ensure that such a shameful situation never happens again?
