"(Veterans Affairs) a file that always seems to bedevil federal governments."

It should not exist. We veterans should be treated the same as every other Canadian. Veterans Affairs most often provides an excuse to divert attention from serious matters. 

Further there is nothing special about the military. We all volunteered for our jobs. Some for patriotic reasons, some for the job. Some for the challenge. 

VA is supposed to look after some medical problems. Overlap with provincial responsibilities for health care. And if more than one person has a responsibility, nobody is responsible. Health care is an example. Both feds and provinces have responsibilities. The ball gets thrown back and forth. Same with Veterans Affairs and provincial health care. 

Close down Veterans Affairs.
