Madam Speaker, I agree with the member that there is a big problem in this country when it comes to all this red tape. It is absolutely necessary to find solutions to this situation.
Common-sense Conservatives will offer many solutions to Canadians.
While I have the floor, she did mention the story of the soldier who tried to prove over and over about missing legs. For her benefit and for the benefit of everyone in the House, I want to tell another story, briefly, about a veteran in Quebec. She has a back injury as a result of her service and she requires a wheelchair lift to be able to get out of her wheelchair and into her home. Right now, she has to literally drag herself across a gravel driveway to get into her home. The Liberal government has been fighting with her for years trying to deny her that wheelchair lift. She was actually one of the individuals I mentioned who, when she was begging for help, was told that, if it was so difficult, they could offer her medical assistance in dying instead. She said she was not looking for help to die, she was looking for help to live.
I will happily report that this veteran is getting her wheelchair lift, but sadly it is not because the government finally stepped forward. It is because her fellow veterans went out and found private contractors who were willing to do this pro bono for the veteran because the government refused.
