QUESTION PERIOD — Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration
Business of the Committee
November 6, 2025
My question is for the Chair of the Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration.
As you know, the government has a program to hire qualified medically released members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. These are people who were injured in the service to Canada and can’t continue in their current positions because of physical limitations.
Is the Senate participating in that program, and have we hired any of the medically released members of the Canadian Armed Forces or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police?
Thank you for the question, senator. I will have to verify that.
Thank you. I fully understand that.
If not, would you consider adding it to the agenda of the Internal Economy Committee for consideration for the Senate to participate? Additionally, would you let the Senate know if any members of that committee are opposed to that initiative?
Thank you for the question, senator.
I will ask that you please send your request by letter, with Pascale Legault copied so that she can add it to the committee’s agenda and get the work done if there is work that needs to be done on this. She can also see if we have material already available, or if we have to work on material.
