"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5634484\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for his passion in supporting our veterans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5634485\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am on the same page with the member when it comes to ensuring that veterans receive the benefits and services they need. We already know that money is returned to consolidated revenue funds for quasi-statutory programming and used again in subsequent budget years. That is why we continue to make smart investments. In fact, our government has invested $10 billion. Ninety-three per cent of the department's budget goes directly to programs and benefits that help our veterans. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5634486\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our veterans have served and given so much to the peace and security of our country and we are working very hard to repair the damage that was done under the previous government. We opened nine offices that were previously closed and hired 470 new staff. That good work is going to ensure that veterans receive the programs and services they need for a successful life after the military.</p>",

Nous savons d\u00e9j\u00e0 que de l\u2019argent est retourn\u00e9 au Tr\u00e9sor pour des programmes quasi l\u00e9gislatifs et qu\u2019il est r\u00e9utilis\u00e9 au cours d\u2019exercices ult\u00e9rieurs. C\u2019est pourquoi nous continuons de faire des investissements judicieux. En fait, le gouvernement a investi 10 milliards de dollars. Le budget va dans une mesure de 93 % directement aux programmes et aux prestations qui aident nos anciens combattants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5634486\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nos anciens combattants ont tant contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la paix et \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de notre pays, et c\u2019est pourquoi nous travaillons si fort pour r\u00e9parer les dommages caus\u00e9s par le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Nous avons rouvert neuf bureaux qui avaient auparavant \u00e9t\u00e9 ferm\u00e9s et nous avons embauch\u00e9 470 nouveaux employ\u00e9s. Ce bon travail permettra de veiller \u00e0 ce que les anciens combattants profitent des programmes et ses services dont ils ont besoin pour mener une vie fructueuse apr\u00e8s l\u2019arm\u00e9e.</p>"
