Mr. Speaker, the veterans ombudsman has made it clear that benefits are still inadequate for those who have served our country.
He has also flagged unacceptable delays in veterans receiving those benefits. We now learn that more than 11,000 disability benefit claims are stuck in the queue. These are men and women who were injured in the service of their country. They deserve better. They were promised better.
Would the minister please explain exactly when this backlog will be fixed?
