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, 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, 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

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

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, let us talk about respect. We on this side of the House fully understand what families go through every time the Conservatives rake up a situation like this. Imagine what these families must be going through. Imagine how painful it is to recall each of these cases.

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our hearts go out to the Campbell family. Once again, I want to take this opportunity to say that this petty politics is insensitive. It shows a lack of compassion for the families. We answered the question. Unlike the Harper Conservatives, we understand that when

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our hearts go out to the Campbell family. For privacy reasons, we cannot discuss ths particular case. All I am asking our colleagues opposite is to show some compassion and to think of what families must go through every day. They are putting back on the table a ver

Veterans  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for drawing the attention of the House to this question as well as that of the Prime Minister, who first provided her with a response. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the hon. member for her service in the Canadian Armed Forces

Veterans  Madam Speaker, as we said earlier, it is simple. The answer was clear. We have work to do. We inherited a system that was lacking. We are in the process of improving the system that was in place and we are providing proper services. We hired an additional 470 people. We investe

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our priority is to provide veterans and their families with the benefits and support they need. These benefits apply to 129,143 veterans with service-related illnesses or injuries. Last year, 1,400 veterans received benefits and, to the extent that it helped their re

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, as we said earlier in our first answer, we have figures, and they are simple. Last year, 1,400 veterans received services. We will continue to deliver them. Our priority is to provide benefits to veterans and their families. Last year, 1,400 veterans out of 129,143

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our colleagues opposite are telling us that we do not have any figures, but we do. As I mentioned earlier, nearly 1,400 veterans received this service through all agencies. We work tirelessly to provide veterans and their families with the care that they need. Un
