When Will this Government Truly Stand Up for Veterans?

Mr. Speaker, for 17 years, the Office of the Veterans Ombud has been shining a light on the neglect of veterans. We have a sacred obligation to care for those who served, but successive Liberal and Conservative governments have ignored their reports and recommendations.

Veterans need action, and we need to empower the Ombud by giving them the power to compel documents and issue binding recommendations. When will the Liberals make the necessary changes to create a truly independent ombud, so she can be the champion veterans deserve?
