Statement by the NDP on Veterans’ Week

New Democratic Party Veterans critic Peter Stoffer (Sackville—Eastern Shore) made the following statement on Veterans’ Week:

“Canadians will be taking part in the many activities being organized across the country for Veterans’ Week.

“The men and women who risk their lives and welfare to defend those in danger around the world and to protect Canadian citizens deserve our gratitude, respect and admiration. Let’s all make sure to express our support.

“New Democrats pledge their commitment to ensure the needs of veterans and their families are met and well cared for.

“On behalf of the NDP and our leader, Tom Mulcair, we would like to thank all current and retired Canadian military and RCMP personnel and their families for the sacrifices they have made for us all. We wish them all our very best and thank them for their service.”
