“The committee listened to injured veterans, but the government ignored their voices and rejected our proposals. What message does that send to people who served our country? Will the government face consequences for this?”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Cambridge for her concern because she began and ended her speech by talking about those who served, those who came away with trauma or physical effects, those who need help. We heard from some of these individuals in committee. I would like my colleague to tell me whether she thinks that there will be political repercussions for the government because the Liberals have ignored the voices of those who were represented in committee by members of the opposition. Some of the opposition members’ proposals were even adopted by the government only to be rejected in the end. What message does this send to the people who have served the country?”
