Minutes of Proceedings
MGen Gregory Smith and Amanda Strohan made statements, and with MGen Prévost and Jennie Chen, answered questions.
James Bezan moved, — That, given the testimony from witnesses at the Nova Scotia Legislature’s Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, which repudiated denials from the Department of National Defence regarding military homelessness, and that given that there is widespread and incontrovertible evidence that after eight years of Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister our military members can’t afford food or housing, the committee invites: the Minister of Housing; the Executive Director of the Royal Canadian Legion Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command; the Director of Emergency Management for the Halifax Regional Municipality; and the Executive Director of the Halifax & Region Military Family Resource Centre to answer questions on the military housing crisis.
Debate arose thereon.
Andy Fillmore moved, — That the debate be now adjourned.
