Mr. Speaker, what we are asking for is action on this now.
Until 1992, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Canadians were systematically driven out of the military. More than 1,200 Canadians were dishonourably discharged because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Last week, the defence committee unanimously adopted my motion urging the minister to take action to revise these service records.
Will the minister take this first step now and begin righting the injustice done to these Canadians who served their country honourably?
