“We have not cut any services or benefits for veterans. We are still making sure they get the help they need after their military service.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague across the way for the opportunity to clarify that there have been no cuts to services and benefits offered to veterans. We continue to ensure that veterans have access to the services and benefits that allow them to be successful in their post-service life.
