Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, we have made sure to inform veterans and their families of the benefits and programs available to them. It is important to explain what the pension for life is all about. That is why our minister held more than 40 public consultations in order to tell people about th

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for raising the subject. Gender equality is very important to us. The provision of our benefits is based on demand. Regardless of whether 10 veterans or 10,000 submit claims, they are all eligible and all subject to the same provisions.

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our hearts go out to the family of Constable Campbell. We have reviewed the funding and directed the department to ensure that the services received by family members of veterans are related to the veteran's service and, when they are not, that the case be reviewed b

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech and his passion for this file. I also want to again express my condolences to the Campbell family. I agree with my colleague who said that veterans could be supported and that we must do more. That is the position we

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. We do not consult veterans on such specific, sensitive cases, on a murder as heinous as that of Officer Campbell. What I can say is that our minister and our Prime Minister have been clear: we must consult our veterans. My mini

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we cannot comment on this case in the House. I will meet with veterans with my head held high. On November 11, we will commemorate the armistice as we have always done. We will stand up for our veterans. I do not know how the Conservatives will face veterans after

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. What I like about that question is the part about how things seem to be worse under the Liberals. I can assure the hon. member that the rehired front-line officers are providing better service, suitable service. The ratio of ca

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the devotion of our men and women in uniform is undisputed and unparalleled. I assure my colleagues that just as veterans and their fallen comrades have made sacrifices to preserve our future, our government is committed to protecting them and their future. Our gover

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking my colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue for her speech. Like her, my thoughts are with the Campbell family. In her speech, my colleague said that this is a very complex case. I can assure the House that she is right. She also said

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, we sympathize with Ms. Campbell's family, and we utterly condemn this horrific attack. We also take our responsibility to protect the privacy and rights of veterans and their families very seriously. However, we all know that the department has ordered an investigat

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, all Canadians are in mourning because of this tragedy. I can confirm that the Prime Minister has realized it. We opened a centre of excellence on PTSD, launched a joint suicide prevention strategy, and reopened nine offices across the country that were closed by the

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, every member of the House is in mourning and sympathizes with the Campbell family. I believe I mentioned the Campbell family a number of times today. However, we have to respect confidentiality, and that is what we on this side of the House will do.

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I do not need any talking points to say that we sympathize with the Campbell family today. It is a terrible situation. What I can say today is that we respect this family and know that when a veteran serves in the army, so does their family. We will continue to suppo

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our hearts go out to the Campbell family. I know that my colleague across the way would like me to say more on this particular case, but for reasons of confidentiality, we simply cannot provide more information on such a specific case. We will respect the confidentia

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, for privacy reasons, we cannot comment on this specific case. Our hearts go out to Constable Campbell's family. We completely understand this case, and we are in the process of reviewing it with the department to find out how this decision was made.
