Madam Speaker, as this is the first time I am speaking in the 43rd Parliament, I would like to thank the citizens of Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne for their support again in this election, and of course my family, friends and volunteers.
I listened to the member opposite's speech. I had the great pleasure of working with him in the 42nd Parliament on veteran affairs. I noticed in his speech that he said there was absolutely nothing in the throne speech for veterans. I would like to correct the record. In fact, at the bottom of page 12 of the Speech from the Throne he can see very clearly our commitment.
In addition to the $10 billion of investments over the last four years for veterans, the Canadian Armed Forces, the military and their families, we have also committed, working through partners such as VETS Canada and others, to ending veterans' homelessness.
I ask the member opposite if he will support the throne speech with respect to our support for our men and women in uniform and those who have supported them.
