Support for Canadian Veterans has always been an important issue for CARP members, not only for our aging soldiers, but also for those returning from service today who are suffering from both post-traumatic and physical disabilities.
Currently there is a debate raging about changes to Veterans’ benefits; what the current federal Liberal government has promised and what the changes the previous Conservative government implemented really meant for Veterans. CARP is examining the statutory benefits and asking for your input.
