Could it be these reductions were imposed on our sick and frail veterans to pay for the luxurious 11.5 per cent increase the government has made to the mileage allowance MPs and government employees enjoy?</p>\n<p>Would the Minister of Veterans Affairs assure the House he will urge the government to rescind this decision?</p>",
