Mr. Speaker, I do not agree at all that they are doing enough for the veterans of this country. I do not agree at all that the new programs announced, which are in fact former programs, are adequate for Canada's veterans. I do not agree at all that cutting $372 million allocated for veterans is an appropriate way of running things.
The NDP criticized the Conservatives when they took away more than $1 billion from veterans. The Liberals are doing exactly the same thing to the tune of about $150 million a year. That is not appropriate. Instead of being partisan, they should be asking what is the right course of action for our veterans.
The Conservatives' actions were not appropriate, nor are those of the Liberals at this time. The Liberals have a responsibility to meet the needs of veterans, to return the $372 million that was taken away from them, and to provide veterans with the services and housing they need. In my opinion, that is the message Canadians want to give the Liberals.
