Mr. Speaker, we are past Remembrance Day, but we are always thinking of our veterans.
The petitioners want the House to recognize that veterans have been asking, for more than 15 years, to confront PTSD with the assistance of well-trained, life-saving animals. Trained service dogs make all the difference for veterans who are suffering from PTSD.
The petitioners ask that the House ensure we have the funding, the standard-setting and all the steps necessary to implement a framework to enhance Veterans Affairs Canada's provision of animal assistance services to veterans and their families.
