What I can say now, and as I started my speech with, is that with one fell swoop of a pen, the <a data-HoCid=\"300029\" href=\"/politicians/ginette-petitpas-taylor/\" title=\"Ginette Petitpas Taylor\">Minister of Veterans Affairs</a> can do anything she wants. Future ministers, with that same pen, can make amends and correct the wrongs of the past. That can be done. The minister has that power; I do not have that power as an individual. However, I can say that I do not disagree with the member on the matter.</p>",

Ce que je peux dire maintenant, comme je l'ai fait au d\u00e9but de mon discours, c'est que la <a data-HoCid=\"300029\" href=\"/politicians/ginette-petitpas-taylor/\" title=\"Ginette Petitpas Taylor\">ministre des Anciens Combattants</a> peut changer les choses d'un trait de plume. De la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on, les futurs ministres peuvent faire amende honorable et corriger les erreurs du pass\u00e9. C'est possible. La ministre a ce pouvoir. Je n'ai pas ce pouvoir personnellement. Cependant, je peux dire que je ne suis pas en d\u00e9saccord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 sur ce sujet.</p>"
