The benefits veterans depend on are in jeopardy. And we need your help making sure Canadians know about it.

The Conservative government has already announced cuts of $226 million from Veterans Affairs Canada, hurting the department’s ability to deliver the compensation and benefits our veterans rely on.  This is in addition to $175 - 350 million in “Strategic Review” cuts the department will make starting next year.

We make a promise to our men and women in uniform that, in exchange for their commitment and sacrifice, we will be there for them when they come home, to provide support to them and their families. Because of these cuts however, human and financial resources will not be there for soldiers and their families when they return home to heal from the physical and mental wounds that come in service of Canadians.

Please sign the petition and show Canadians that we care about our veterans.

Our veterans deserve better. There have been enough broken promises. That’s why, with Remembrance Day around the corner, I’m asking Canadians to renew their promise to their troops and I am asking you to help spread the word to your families, friends, and the Canadian public.

We are fighting for our veterans in the House of Commons and the Senate, but the Conservative government is hiding behind closed doors. Stand with us. Together, our voices can be heard.

Please sign this petition calling on the government to restore funding to Veterans Affairs and share it with friends and family on Facebook and Twitter.
