During the flight, she shared with me both the rewards and challenges of being a member of the Royal Canadian Navy. I had an opportunity to reconnect with this brave veteran a few weeks ago, and I was upset to hear that she is still working to obtain the services she is entitled to.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8655254\" data-originallang=\"en\">As we approach Remembrance Day, it is timely for me to rise today to bring the petition forward. Our veterans deserve better. They provided service to our country. They should at least receive the benefits they are entitled to.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8655255\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners call on the <a data-HoCid=\"300029\" href=\"/politicians/ginette-petitpas-taylor/\" title=\"Ginette Petitpas Taylor\">Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence</a> to dramatically cut red tape and simplify and expedite the delivery of services and benefits for our military veterans, especially during their initial transition to civilian life.</p>",

Pendant le vol, elle m'a fait part des avantages et des d\u00e9fis de servir dans la Marine royale canadienne. J'ai eu l'occasion de renouer avec cette ancienne combattante courageuse il y a quelques semaines et j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 mortifi\u00e9 d'apprendre qu'elle avait encore du mal \u00e0 obtenir les services auxquels elle a droit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8655254\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'approche du jour du Souvenir, il est opportun que je pr\u00e9sente cette p\u00e9tition. Les anciens combattants m\u00e9ritent mieux apr\u00e8s avoir servi notre pays. Ils devraient au moins pouvoir obtenir les prestations et les services auxquels ils ont droit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8655255\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent \u00e0 la <a data-HoCid=\"300029\" href=\"/politicians/ginette-petitpas-taylor/\" title=\"Ginette Petitpas Taylor\">ministre des Anciens Combattants et ministre associ\u00e9e de la D\u00e9fense nationale</a> de r\u00e9duire consid\u00e9rablement les formalit\u00e9s administratives, ainsi que de simplifier et d'acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer la prestation des services et le versement des prestations destin\u00e9s aux anciens combattants, en particulier pendant leur transition \u00e0 la vie civile.</p>"
