Again, as I say, this government is very proud of the work of the Minister for Veterans' Affairs in making sure that veterans have had access to a veteran's pension—something that did not happen under those opposite with thousands languishing on the waiting list to actually get their claims assessed in time. That is what actually happened under those opposite.

There has been $16 billion extra in funding from this government into veterans' payments directly making sure that veterans have access to the claims that they are entitled to. There was a deliberate strategy under the previous government of saving money by delaying the claim processing. That is what you did. In fact, you had a minister for veterans' affairs resign because of it. He went out and gave a press conference. He said he was unable, through the ERC process, to get the support and the funding that he needed. That is the legacy of those opposite. Our minister for veterans' affairs—we are processing people more quickly. People are getting access to the pensions that they are entitled to under this government.

As I said, we have a deep respect for veterans who have served and continue to serve this country. We are proud of the significant investments, including in this budget, of additional money for veterans directly for the services that they need. We are very proud of the work that the minister has done to secure that funding. Obviously, we understand that the proposal around the $5,000 threshold has caused concern for the veterans community. We have responded to that.
