Madam Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague who sat on the veterans' committee with me. We did hear clearly that the government put forward a motion in June to end homelessness for veterans. Veteran homelessness was not in the throne speech. Veterans are mentioned vaguely in the speech. The government put forward a motion to end homelessness for veterans. Where is the plan? It wants to do it by 2025. We want to hear the plan.
Both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition supported our motion last November to end lapsed spending. We hope the Liberals are going to honour that when they go to supplementary estimates, because we know there is money left over that they did not spend. They made a commitment they were going to end lapsed spending for veterans, so we are expecting that to take place.
The government is still only meeting six of the 24 service standards. While it is taking pride in its track record on veterans, maybe it could do something about it. It could take the money from the end of last year and apply it to meeting the 18 of the 24 service standards it is not meeting. That is what the Liberals promised to do when they voted for that motion, including that member.
