Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend from North Island—Powell River, a beautiful riding that I have had the opportunity to visit a couple of times. I met with the military family resource centre there, along with the JPSU and the integrated personnel support centre. They do great work.
To know that there is money on the table that is not being used for things like PTSD service dogs for those veterans who need those services is really disappointing. All the research shows, both Canadian and American research, that those service dogs do a great job.
The more we can do to support veterans, like those in her riding, the better off we are going to be as a nation and the better off we will be finding people who want to serve in uniform, knowing that they will be properly cared for by having in place a military covenant.
