Thank you, Chair. Therefore, my question is, if the deputy minister in the department provided him with an appropriate plan or a written plan, why is he questioning how appropriate that plan is? I have complete confidence in the deputy minister's ability to produce a written plan.
The honourable minister may give a brief answer, please.
I can assure my honourable colleague that with the appropriate funding, we will address the backlog in Veterans Affairs.
We will go now to the honourable member for Parry SoundMuskoka, Mr. Aitchison.
