Mr. Speaker, there is outrage from the family, outrage from veterans and outrage from Canadians in regard to this specific case.
Now the department has changed the policy, but the minister has shown less than to dignify us with a proper response. The member wants to talk about policy, but when policies are put in place and people start falling through the cracks, when there are failures and gaps in that policy, then it is up to backbench MPs and not just the opposition to go to their Parliament here to hold the government and their ministers to account. That is exactly what we are supposed to do.
The member can try and say if we only had the perfect policy, but then we would not need ministers anymore, and we would not need MPs anymore. We are here to fight for our constituents to make sure their voices are being heard. We want that member to hear that.
