Mr. Speaker, the number of homeless veterans just keeps going up, so obviously the photo ops and press releases are not getting the job done.
The Veterans Association Food Bank in Calgary reports that in the last six months alone its numbers have tripled in what it is spending to keep veterans housed, clothed and fed.
Veterans served our country and they deserve better than the homelessness and hunger that they are getting from the NDP-Liberal government. Veterans, like all Canadians, cannot afford the cost.
When will the Prime Minister call a carbon tax election so that veterans can finally get the respect they deserve?
