Madam Speaker, first of all, let me say how much I appreciate the service of the member's family members and of herself. I have had conversations with her about the military and our veterans, and I appreciate the sincerity of those conversations, I always have. I will work with anyone who is willing to be there for our veterans.
The unfortunate part, of course, is that what we have seen over the last nine years has not been a government that supports our men and women in uniform, and has not been a government that supports our veterans. We see the effects of that every single day. We have a recruitment crisis. We have veterans who are struggling with homelessness and with food banks. It is disgraceful.
In terms of working together, yes, there is no question. The simple answer to what is being requested here is that the government should simply comply. It is the right thing to do. If it is the right thing to do, then why can the government not just do it? We could then all work together on a number of important things. I would be thrilled to be able to do that. This government just simply needs to comply with what is being required here. Also, while I have the floor, I may as well say that it needs to start showing some respect and appreciation for those who serve this country and have served this country, because right now, it is not happening.
