Madam Speaker, let me just provide a bit more clarity on the issue. Our troops went in back in September 2014. That supplementary financial support was not provided when Mr. Harper sent the troops into Kuwait. In fact, a number of months later there was a review process, to which my colleague just made reference, and under that review, the Conservatives said that yes the troops should receive further compensation.
One would think that the Harper government would have given it then but it did not. It was not until after the election, under the current Minister of National Defence, working with the Minister of Finance, that not only did we put it into place but we also made it retroactive.
Now a minister is saying that we are reviewing the process to see if there is something else we might be able to do. On both accounts, the former Stephen Harper government failed our troops. I wonder if the member would provide further comment on that.
