Mr. Speaker, my friend from Kingston and the Islands should not throw stones at glass houses.
Let us actually look at the facts. The Liberals talk about opening offices, but they have actually extended the wait times. Veterans are waiting up to seven months for services. That is not performance. The member talks about money not spent. There is $372 million of lapsed funding under the Liberals.
People need to actually look at doing things for our veterans. That is why I was so happy that at our national policy convention in Halifax this summer, we brought forward a new policy called duty of care, which says:
The Conservative Party of Canada, recognizes and accepts unreservedly the existence of a Social Covenant between the Government of Canada and those who have served in the Armed Forces of Canada (The Military Covenant).
We are going to honour that. The member talked about ending lifetime pensions. We have to remember that this happened under the Paul Martin government when it brought forward the new veterans charter. Again, the member needs to get his facts straight.
