Mr. Speaker, we see once again right now the Conservative leader constantly talking down the members of the Canadian Armed Forces, talking down and nickel-and-diming our veterans. They shuttered nine veterans services offices; cut thousands of staff, people helping veterans; and made cuts to the Canadian Armed Forces that brought our spending on defence to below 1%. He will not even commit to our timeline to get it up to 2%, and he will not get his security clearance so that he can get the briefing necessary to keep all Canadians safe.
In the House of Commons on November 6th, 2024. See this statement in context.
