How many medically released RCMP members and Canadian Forces veterans are currently working at Veterans Affairs Canada?

📹My question to Veterans Affairs Minister Jill McKnight on the priority hiring policy for medically released veterans.

We must maintain enough employees at Veterans Affairs Canada to provide the services needed by veterans and former RCMP members and their families.

📹My question to Veterans Affairs Minister Jill McKnight about the gov't-wide expenditure review program.

The OAS program is unfunded and unsustainable. As baby boomers age into retirement, costs for the program will balloon and younger Canadians will pay greater taxes to cover the growing expense. OAS must be adjusted (less for high-income /more for low-income seniors) before money runs out.

Should gov't review the criteria by which high-income seniors qualify for Old Age Security (OAS) payments in order to shift the financial support towards low-income seniors and reduce the burden on young Canadians who are paying more taxes to support this unfunded OAS program?

#cdnpoli #SenCA #PEI

Why do high-income seniors continue to receive OAS payments while low-income seniors need more support and the Canada Child Benefit is reduced at a much lower household income than OAS. Is this fair to younger generations who face higher taxes to fund OAS for high-income seniors?

#SenCA #cdnpoli

Low income seniors need more financial assistance while high income seniors need less. And younger generations can't afford to pay for increased Old Age Security costs by way of higher taxes. Is this fiscally sustainable?

📺My question to the Secretary of State for Seniors.

Is sports betting corrupting sports? NBA banned a player for his involvement with gambling and fans are wondering if missed calls are truly missed or are they something else? A single NHL game can generate millions in bets. What monitoring is the gov't doing to protect Canadians?

#cdnpoli #SenCA

Time to ban sports betting advertisements. The government bans tobacco ads and we should do the same for gambling. You cannot legislate away human weaknesses, but you can limit the ability of others to profit from it. My questions to the Minister responsible for the CRTC urging action.
