Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize my colleague's service and his father's service. It was very nicely woven into his speech today. He was just speaking about the not-for-profit organization, where money is reinvested into veterans. I would like to hear his thoughts on that as an excuse. Why would the Liberals not want to keep a contract with the Commissionaires, which does such great work
Madam Speaker, obviously I am pro-Canadian. We should be supporting our troops and our veterans. When they come home, they want meaningful employment. One of the things not being touched on here is that veterans who come home, when they leave the military, go through a bit of an identity crisis. Giving them meaningful employment is something that helps with their mental well-being. Therefore, it
Mr. Speaker, the Commissionaires is a not-for-profit organization, Canada's largest private sector employer of veterans. What commissionaires earn goes back to veterans, not shareholders. Justin Trudeau once told veterans that they were asking for more than he was able to give. That was a slap in the face. Now the Liberal government has handed a CRA security contract to Allied Universal, an
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's service. I was just sitting in the veterans affairs committee, which is meeting with the Commissionaires. In his speech, the member highlighted that the Commissionaires were never invited to the table, and that can be confirmed from our meeting. I would like to hear his thoughts about what I asked earlier. The Commissionaires is a non-profit organization
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from across the aisle. I know he served in the military, and I respect his time in service. It is obviously something he is very passionate about and understands. The fact that the government is cancelling this contract to support a company that is supporting Trump's ICE detention program is distasteful. Canadians want better and expect better
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her hard work on the veterans affairs committee, which we both sit on. She was very flexible and was able to sub in as the chair recently due to an emergency and some challenging times. The subject the committee is studying right now is veterans and employment. Does the member not find it absolutely ludicrous that at the time the committee is
Madam Speaker, from my perspective, to start off, I would like to acknowledge the generational remembrance that we have. Not too many people can see this, but in the gallery we have some young girls who are wearing poppies right now and they are sitting with their family of many generations. That is heartwarming. I will not name them because I do not know them, but I just want to thank them for
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague, someone I spent some time with at the veterans affairs committee. She is surely missed, but she has been well replaced. My colleague from across the aisle asked a question about principle. It was a very good question to ask. The principle of this is why we brought this motion forward as an opposition day motion. It is the principle of putting
Madam Speaker, that is a good question. I am not aware of any study, but that is a big concern and a big red flag. I ultimately trust veterans who have put their life on the line for our country, including for the province of Quebec. I have served with many Quebeckers who are very proud. This is a big concern and a big red flag I would have. What happens in a few years if we find that something
Madam Speaker, I feel like I am at Yuk Yucks. Honestly, on efficiency for the F-35, we have two that have been delivered after 11 years of the Liberal government, and it is not the first time it has done this. There are the Cormorant helicopters. It is unbelievable. Time after time after time, we are always waiting for equipment from the Liberal government. Is this an admission of it having bad
Madam Speaker, I would like to welcome my colleague to the veterans affairs committee. One of the things we hear in the veterans affairs committee is that there is a continual lack of recognition for veterans when military contracts go out. If we look south of the border, the U.S. has a procurement strategy of including 3% of small businesses owned by veterans, and in fact, that has actually
