Madam Speaker, the Liberals have been failing veterans for years. The minister refused to hire staff and now he is delegating the task to a private company to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is not even clear that they will be able to provide adequate services in French. Veterans want capable people to help them get better services, not a company whose primary goal is to make a profit. When will the minister do the right thing? When will he help veterans and their families, not the CEOs of wealthy companies?

Madam Speaker, our nation's veterans deserve respect and that answer was anything but. Suspension of services is happening now. There is no transition plan and the government is outsourcing contracts to a company owned by none other than Loblaws. This boondoggle will cost 25% more than just adequately funding the department. Liberals want to spend more money for fewer services. Why is the minister putting Loblaws' profits ahead of veterans and their families? Will he halt moving forward on this badly botched plan?
