Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his impassioned speech.
In my riding of North Island—Powell River, I have numerous veterans I work with frequently. I can think of one right now who has a service dog that really helps him with his post-traumatic stress disorder. He cannot find housing, because they do not take dogs.
When we look at the gaps in services, we really need to commend the people, like those at the Comox Military Family Resource Centre in my riding, who work day in and day out with these veterans.
Could the member talk about what it really means for veterans on the ground when over $300 million is left on the table, when there are services and needs veterans have today?
