“Mr. Speaker, it is clear for anyone to see that the government has engaged in the neglect of duty on this file and others. What message is this debate sending to the victims who have already come forward and are watching this show? What message does it send to future soldiers, sailors and airmen and their families, who are probably wondering whether, if they are ever victims, they will be taken seriously and their complaint will be heard properly?”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 7 wordsmy colleague’s question is an important one.ThanksClaims · 62 wordsWhat I keep coming back to, and what should matter to all of us, is what veterans and survivors have been telling us.Some had the courage to appear before committee, 1which is hard enough to do on its own.Others have shared their experiences in different ways.In every case, they did so because they believed their voices would matter here.Reasoning · 95 wordsWe cannot acknowledge those voices and then move forward in a way that leaves people feeling their input was heard politely and then set aside.That sends the wrong message, especially to the veterans and survivors who already struggle with whether it is safe to come forward at all.Respect means more than listening once.It means taking seriously what they said, especially about trust, choice and feeling safe in the process.If we want people to keep coming forward, we must show that what they shared actually matters in the decisions we make here.
