Bennett DavidHon DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker and I'd like to follow those words with our gratitude to the Minister for Veterans as well. I think he's done an excellent job on this legislation and has been very helpful in bringing all sides of the House together on something that everyone would support anyway but I think that the way he's done it has been very good so good kudos to the Minister for his good work. Just joining with all other members of Parliament here in acknowledging the veterans of our country we have to just look in this debating chamber and just look around at the names that are on the walls. Anybody that comes into this Chamber will see those names of those battles and will remember the veterans that made it possible for us to have democracy in this country so that we can live in a free open community that values the independent rights of all individuals and communities. I think that's something we never forget every day when we sit in this room and this gives us the ability to publicly acknowledge and thank those veterans out there and their families who have served and will continue to serve this great country for their work and their sacrifice and their belief in what we all stand for and in what we can be. So I think everybody joins together in acknowledging them and thanking them for their service. Unfortunately though when the Veterans' Support Act was done in 2014 it appears an error was made and it is an error that has sort of been covered up I guess by the ability to just do it through ministerial discretion. But at some point it's come to the position now that we need to fix it through legislation so that that error in writing is not something that actually could limit anybody's ability to get the services that they deserve and would desire. So that's why you're seeing universal support within the House because it is something in the best interests of our veterans and our communities as a whole. I would also like to just encourage the Minister—and I know he's working on this—in regard to our Afghan interpreters. They essentially don't get some of the support that other veterans do. I think that that is probably an error that has happened in our system in the past and I know the Minister's working hard to sort that out. I'd just like to wish him all the best in that and to let him know that I believe that you would have support in the House for that as well if you were to bring that forward and you probably don't even need to bring that forward in legislation. But you might have to and if you do I think there would be pretty much universal support for that as well because those Afghan interpreters—and as Jamie Strange and I know in Hamilton there are a number—have served this country very well as well. They deserve that recognition and support and we look forward to them getting that formally in the near future under this Minister. So I'd just like to thank all those veterans once again and their families. I'd like to thank the Minister and the Parliament for coming together to make sure that this bill goes through this House in a quick manner but also a respectful manner which gives us the ability to once again acknowledge the great contribution many people have made to this country. Thank you.
