Madam Speaker, the apology needs to come from that member and his government because, I can tell members right now, what they did there is very hypocritical.
That office is, in fact, closed and has been closed. Not only that, but essentially every office in this country is closed to veterans because what happens now is they must go online and make an appointment. If they just show up at an office, they cannot be received by Veterans Affairs. Many veterans also reported to us that just because maybe one time they got a little frustrated, because they had waited months and years to get action, they were told they can never speak to another Veterans Affairs employee again.
The only person who owes an apology is that member, and his government, for what the government does to veterans.
