“The defence minister is supposed to meet every year with military chaplains, but the Liberals have not met with them once since 2015. The member has not heard their concerns because his government refuses to talk to them.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would tell the member to reach out to the Interfaith Committee on Canadian Military Chaplaincy. This organization has a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Canada that it is to have annual meetings with the Minister of National Defence. It has not had a single meeting since the Liberal government took power in 2015. The member says that he has not heard from any chaplains, but it is because the Liberals are refusing to meet with chaplains. It is ridiculous.”
