Mr. Speaker, the cost of sending our citizens to war includes the cost of taking care of them when they come home. That is why we have moved forward with programs that are designed to ensure that communities have the capacity to provide housing to those who have put their lives at risk in order to protect our country overseas and at home.
I recently was able to work with the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness to scale up a program that has ended functional homelessness for veterans in three communities across the country so that they can expand it to 26 additional cities. We have also worked very closely with community organizations across the country.
What is disappointing is that when it came time to put our position on the record, the Conservatives voted against this program.
