Anita Vandenbeld

Liberal on Wartime Service Recognition Act

Replying to Lisa Hepfner (Liberal)
“Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for all her hard work. When she takes on an issue, she puts her whole heart into it. Perhaps she can just tell us one story. I also sat on the veterans affairs committee when we studied this issue, and there were just so many stories from veterans who are here today. Perhaps there was one story that really stuck with my colleague and made her realize that this effort was worth her time. Maybe she can talk about that a bit.”

Mr. Speaker, I would say it is when Mike McGlennon looked at me and asked why veterans have to fight for their own recognition. They should not have to. We will do it for them.
