Senator Martin: I would appreciate your responses to my specific questions regarding the rent supplement program.

The Veterans Emergency Fund provides financial help to veterans experiencing a crisis. A briefing note produced in March for the Veterans Affairs minister states:

Every year since the program started in April 2018, the demand for the Veterans Emergency Fund has been more than the $1 million dollars of annual funding.

As this program has been underfunded every single year since it began, are Canada’s veterans still asking for more than the government can give, as Prime Minister Trudeau said once before?

Hon. Yonah Martin (Deputy Leader of the Opposition): Can you kindly remind us which number this is on the Order Paper?
