Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his observations.
I will once again tell the House that it has been frustrating to attend 40-plus town halls to talk to veterans each and every day and to their families. It will take a long time to win their trust back.
Like any other member on this side of the House, I do not like to stand up and continually blame the other side of the House for what we need to do, but it is very important that Canadians and veterans understand what we are dealing with. Most veterans get it. Most veterans understand.
We will do what needs to be done, and we will stand by veterans and their families, even when it is not politically expedient to do so.
