The committee made a report about creating a group to review military awards.

What They Voted On

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, which relates to the motion adopted on April 20, 2026, regarding the creation of an independent Canadian military honours review board.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about a report from a group of Members of Parliament who studied military awards. They looked into whether Canada should create a new, independent group to review military honours. Right now, the military decides who gets awards. Some people think an outside group should make those decisions instead. This committee looked at that idea and wrote a report about it. This vote is about accepting that report. If the House of Commons accepts the report, it means they agree with what the committee found. This could lead to changes in how military honours are decided in the future. If you care about how our veterans are recognized, you should care about this vote.

This decision was made by "said yes or no" — no individual MP votes were counted.
