NDP demands Conservatives honour their commitment to widows and programs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 10, 2008
TRURO, N.S. - NDP Veterans Affairs Critic Peter Stoffer (Sackville-Eastern
Shore) and Joyce Carter, a well-known advocate for veterans' widows from
Cape Breton, will press the Conservative government to honour its promise
to extend the Veterans Independence Program (VIP) to all veterans' widows.
""The Conservatives did not meet their commitment in the 2008 federal
budget to assist all veterans' widows and placed further restrictions on
eligibility including an income/means test,"" said Stoffer.
Stoffer and Carter will address members of the Veterans' Widows and
Widowers Association in Truro. The organization is the only one of its kind in
Canada and has approximately 65 members.
