In addition to settling this particular lawsuit, which has amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, I would point to the billions of dollars that have been added to the benefits for veterans and their families and for members of the Canadian armed forces through new programs, new equipment, new support, new infrastructure across the country and new protective equipment, all of which has been consistently opposed and voted against by that member and the hypocrisy of his party.
J'aimerais souligner qu'en plus de régler cette poursuite, ce qui représentait des centaines de millions de dollars, nous avons investi des milliards de dollars supplémentaires afin d'améliorer les avantages offerts aux anciens combattants, à leur famille et aux membres des Forces armées canadiennes. Cet argent sert à financer de nouveaux programmes, de nouveaux équipements, de nouvelles mesures d'appui, de nouvelles infrastructures et de nouveaux équipements de protection partout au pays.
