Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech.
The 338 members of the House of Commons are all in favour of supporting veterans. That is not the issue. What we want to know is how the Canadian government can give benefits to a murderer who never served in the Canadian Armed Forces and, even worse, murdered someone in uniform.
November 11, the 100th anniversary of the armistice, will soon be here, and we will be meeting with our veterans at remembrance events.
My question is very simple. How will the member explain this terrible decision to them?
