Mr. Speaker, Canadians will receive their passports on time. They will be able to travel and continue to be proud of their country and history. I want to point out that no one will take any lessons from the Conservative Party about how to treat veterans. The Conservatives were always very quick to use them as a symbol or for photo ops. Meanwhile, they were shutting down veterans offices across the country. They were slashing funding for veterans. They were constantly attacking veterans instead of supporting them. On this side of the House, we are there to defend our veterans and always will be.

Mr. Speaker, the question was about why he is deleting our veterans from our history. Why is he deleting the 3,598 Canadians who gave their lives at Vimy so Canada could have freedom and victory? He is erasing them, and with that, he is insulting all of our veterans. Why will the Prime Minister not stand up for our history, get connected to reality and keep the images in our passport that make us so proud to be Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, right now, veterans across the country are being reminded of what the Conservatives did with veterans. They wrap themselves in the flags and the symbols any time they can, but they, in fact, nickelled and dimed our veterans, used them for photo ops and shut down nine veteran services offices across the country so they could try to save a little money through cuts. Conservatives have always disrespected veterans while wrapping themselves in the imagery. We are going to continue to deliver for veterans every single day.

Mr. Speaker, despite that high school drama production, he just closed every single veterans office in Canada by causing the biggest strike in Canadian history. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

  • Re: Bill C-13 
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the excellent work she does on veterans affairs. I really want to answer this. Looking at B.C., I talked about how in the B.C. schools, they could not get any lands. In the bill, there are guarantees that they would be consulted, which is important. If the member is asking why I am upset with the delay, I have to be very honest and say that today, where I stand, I am happy with the delay. I explained that Bill C-32 had strengths, but Bill C-13 has more strengths. Now, going to committee with the new amendments, it is even better. In 10 years, we will make it perfect, if it is not perfect today.
