I would like to remind him. Has he forgotten the seven Conservative attacks on Canada's veterans? Conservatives killed the lifetime pension for veterans. Harper's minister insulted veterans. He closed nine veterans offices. The auditor general found the Harper government was failing veterans. The Conservatives slashed 900 jobs. Also, despite the pleas of managers, they silenced and smeared veterans, and released their medical records.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5530355\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Now the member has the gall to stand up here and accuse us of not doing enough. We have been defending veterans and working to right the wrongs the Conservatives did for over 10 years. As a former serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces, I can say it was a decade of darkness. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5530354\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je trouve cela fort de la part du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214366\" href=\"/politicians/phil-mccoleman/\" title=\"Phil McColeman\">Brantford\u2014Brant</a>, lui qui si\u00e9geait avec le gouvernement conservateur durant la d\u00e9cennie de noirceur et des coupes. J'aimerais lui rappeler une chose. A-t-il oubli\u00e9 les sept attaques livr\u00e9es par les conservateurs contre les anciens combattants? Les conservateurs ont mis fin \u00e0 la pension \u00e0 vie des anciens combattants. Le ministre de Harper a insult\u00e9 les anciens combattants. Il a ferm\u00e9 neuf bureaux de services aux anciens combattants. Le v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral a dit que le gouvernement Harper manquait \u00e0 ses obligations envers les anciens combattants. Les conservateurs ont supprim\u00e9 900 emplois. De plus, en d\u00e9pit des plaidoyers des gestionnaires, ils ont r\u00e9duit les anciens combattants au silence et ont terni leur r\u00e9putation et publi\u00e9 leurs dossiers m\u00e9dicaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5530355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a maintenant le toupet de prendre la parole ici pour nous accuser de ne pas en faire assez. Nous d\u00e9fendons les anciens combattants et travaillons \u00e0 redresser les torts que leur ont inflig\u00e9s les conservateurs pendant plus de 10 ans. Pour avoir servi dans les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes, je peux dire que ce fut une d\u00e9cennie de noirceur.</p>"
