The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, and the Honourable Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Minister of Veterans Affairs Canada, announced “Legacy of Care,” a suite of five new initiatives to support seriously injured men and women in uniform. Your Government recognizes the exceptional challenges faced by seriously injured Canadian Forces personnel and their families as a result of sacrifices made in service to this country. With these new measures, your government is establishing a legacy of care that improves the quality of life for our seriously injured personnel and their families. We will continue to find ways to deliver on our commitment to those who have sacrificed so much for Canada, as well as for their loved ones, who put their own lives on hold in order to be caregivers. These new initiatives contribute in a tangible and lasting way to supporting CF members' eventual reintegration into military or civilian life with their families. The Government of Canada continues to listen to the concerns of ill and injured Canadian Forces personnel, veterans and their families. This announcement is another step in a series of concrete actions the Government of Canada is taking to deliver improvements in support and care for our Veterans and their families.
