I would like to thank the honourable member for his question. As he knows, we have been speaking and discussing this issue. I have said to him that I will get a response to him. I would just point out that, of that $11.7 billion, which is the budget for the Department of Veterans' Affairs, 98 per cent of that expenditure is obviously legislated and goes to ensuring that those veterans who need our help and assistance get it. When he talks about the budget for the Department of Veterans' Affairs, I just highlight that fact to him. Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker.
