Fraser Tolmie Conservative
“Our committee is studying jobs for veterans, but the government is cutting 3,000 veteran jobs. A witness pointed out that we have already done this study before. What does the member think about that?”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her hard work on the veterans affairs committee, which we both sit on. She was very flexible and was able to sub in as the chair recently due to an emergency and some challenging times. The subject the committee is studying right now is veterans and employment. Does the member not find it absolutely ludicrous that at the time the committee is doing this study, which the Liberals brought forward, the Liberal government is going to be unemploying 3,000 veterans? Also, there was a witness who said out of frustration that this is not the first time we have studied this, and we are doing it again. What are her thoughts on that?”
