Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
On behalf of the committee members and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to commend the women veterans who appeared before the committee and told us their stories. By tabling this unanimous report with its 42 recommendations, we hope that women veterans will no longer be invisible and that they will no longer feel invisible.
I thank the committee members for working on this study in a collaborative, non-partisan manner. The committee would like to sincerely congratulate analyst Jean-Rodrigue Paré, who did an outstanding job.
Fraser Tolmie Conservative Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan, SK
Mr. Speaker, as a veteran myself, I am honoured and privileged to present a supplemental report on behalf of the common-sense Conservative members of the veterans affairs committee.
This historic report on the experience of women veterans has long been overdue and covers many important issues that face the women who answer the call of service. We were disappointed, though, that there were parties at the committee who intentionally avoided issues that reflected poorly on the government by omitting testimony and recommendations on the issues of the housing crisis and the cost of living crisis affecting more veterans each year; the unique medical needs of women veterans and all veterans; the backlog at Veterans Affairs keeping our women veterans and all veterans from receiving the care and support they needed; and education, training, and family support for women veterans, all veterans and their families.
These issues are important, and the women who had the courage to come and share their experiences with the committee on these issues deserve to have their voices heard, even if the government does not want to hear them.
Rachel Blaney NDP North Island—Powell River, BC
Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent for the Bloc and the NDP to present their supplementary opinion to the report of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs entitled ”Invisible No More. The Experiences of Canadian Women Veterans.”
