Madam Speaker, here it is Remembrance Week. It is an opportunity to remind ourselves of the duty we have to honour our veterans and to make sure they are getting the services they so deserve.
This motion today is in the spirit of goodwill and of all of Parliament working together, while acknowledging our failures to deliver services to veterans in a timely fashion. What we are calling for is that when Parliament allocates money and votes to support a budget, the government must make sure that veterans are getting the services they so deserve, that veterans will actually get that money allocated to them.
We are asking that when there is lapsed funding, the government will carry that money forward to attack those service targets and get rid of the backlog that is happening right now and do the right thing, to serve our veterans. That is what we are asking today.
Will the minister support our motion and ensure that all lapsed funding will go toward doing the right thing, serving the very people whom we are here to honour, who have put everything on the line for all of us?
