  • Veteran Bill of Rights

    This is interesting... Colonel, can you elaborate? What will this Bill of Rights consist of?
    Canada's veterans get bill of rights

    The federal government is establishing a veterans' bill of rights and an independent ombudsman to ensure their concerns are being heard, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Tuesday.

    Harper, joined by Veterans Affairs Minister Greg Thompson and a group of veterans in Kitchener, Ont., for the announcement, said both initiatives follow through on a Conservative promise to veterans made during the last federal election campaign.

    He praised the contributions and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Forces.

    "Brave, patriotic men and women like you are the reason we're here," the prime minister said.

    "They have given their very best to Canada, and our government is taking yet another step to ensure that Canada does its very best to them."

      Should raw analytical data ever be passed to policy makers?
