Mr. Speaker, it took a very long time for the Minister of Veterans Affairs to issue a directive ensuring that a civilian would no longer be able to receive benefits from a program for veterans and their families if he or she is in prison. If not for the pressure applied by Conservatives, who forced the minister to take a stand, nothing would have been done.
What will now happen to Christopher Garnier's benefits? When will the minister take responsibility and show leadership by cancelling the benefits?
