Veterans deserve our thanks, not just on Remembrance Day, but every day – for their service, for their sacrifice, and for everything they have given in service of our country. There is a sacred trust between Canadians and those brave soldiers, sailors, and aircrew who have put service before self. Ensuring that our veterans and […]
With huge runaway deficits, Veterans are asking where all the money promised to Veterans in the last election is going. It certainly is not going to balance the federal deficit. The decision to abandon the balanced policy of the previous Conservative government, and then proceed to triple the size of the deficit promised in the […]
I am urging all Veterans to speak out against government plans to extend wait times for Veterans to receive benefits and support services to which they are entitled. During the last election Trudeau made a solemn promise to Veterans. No service cutbacks. This is another broken Liberal party promise. What Veterans and their families have […]
Today I joined Canadian Veterans on Parliament Hill who have been ‘left in the cold’ by the Trudeau government. The Liberals have repeatedly shown they cannot be trusted to address the issues affecting veterans. They have not honoured the promises they made to veterans during the 2015 election campaign. Trudeau promised Canadians if they voted for […]
A Target on Every Soldiers Back The decision by the Trudeau party to reward a home-grown terrorist with a $10.5 million dollar pay-off endangers the lives of all serving Canadian soldiers. It paints a bull’s eye on the back of every deployed Canadian soldier who is serving their country in the war against international terrorism. […]
I joined my Conservative colleagues in demanding the Prime Minister fire his Defence Minister for lying about his service record, and for defending the largest cuts to the defence budget since the end of WWII. Repeated to me over the weekend in Petawawa is that honourable soldiers have a term for comrades, who embellish their service records. […]
I was pleased to join Rima Aristocrat, CEO of Willis College, for the official launch of Willis College’s Veteran Friendly Transition Program (VFTP), an education program designed to help Veterans succeed in their careers following their discharge from the Canadian Armed Forces. This program is the culmination of years of hard work by Rima and […]
The decision by the liberal government to not compensate a Veteran for an injury sustained while on duty on the basis of gender is just plain wrong. What was particularly distressing to the Veteran was the nonsensical answer from the Liberals that hiring more bureaucrats would somehow make up for this poor decision. This has […]
Cheryl Gallant, MP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, is questioning the treatment of an Afghanistan Veteran, after the soldier was told by the Liberal Government the problems he is having is because he is getting old and his body is just wearing out. “Warrant Officer Roger Perreault is a Canadian hero. After all that he has suffered, I was […]
