Mr. Speaker, I must admit I was sitting here stunned at that last question and the desire for non-partisanship after having been subject to Conservative speeches that are nothing more than political rhetoric and exactly that: partisanship.
I can answer the last Conservative question. What could we do for veterans? We could have all unanimously voted in the House two nights ago for the $900 million going toward veterans, but Conservatives voted against it. Of course they are going to say, “Well, no, we voted against every budget thing. It is confidence.” They could have separated that one item on veterans, voted for it, and then showed non-confidence in the government for the other 149 times.
Would the member not agree that two nights ago, when we voted on the estimates, Conservatives should have voted in favour of those funds and resources going toward veterans?
