Fraser Tolmie Conservative
“We need to support our veterans by giving them good jobs when they leave the military. Having meaningful work helps their mental health. It insults our veterans when they come home to fewer job opportunities in Canada.”
“Madam Speaker, obviously I am pro-Canadian. We should be supporting our troops and our veterans. When they come home, they want meaningful employment. One of the things not being touched on here is that veterans who come home, when they leave the military, go through a bit of an identity crisis. Giving them meaningful employment is something that helps with their mental well-being. Therefore, it is a complete slap in the face to Canadian veterans when they come home and find fewer opportunities for employment in the workforce in Canada.”
