Mr. Speaker, Veterans Ombudsman Guy Parent made a presentation at committee on veterans affairs back on April 23. In his report to committee members, he stated:
The recent announcements by the Minister of Veterans Affairs are narrowing the gap in areas of the New Veterans Charter that you identified in your June 2014 report, The New Veterans Charter: Moving Forward.
However, he indicated:
The announced changes do not encompass all that is needed for Veterans, but they have kick started the renewal process...
Would the member not agree that the ombudsman is right in his assessment and that the government could have done more in dealing with this issue?
