Processing delays for veterans’ benefits in the Hill spotlight

Also on the Hill agenda today: Veterans Ombudsman Guy Parent releases a new report on “meeting expectations” through “timely and transparent decisions for Canada’s ill and injured veterans,” which, according to Canadian Press, can best be described as “scathing.”
In a blog post published last year, Parent revealed that delays in decisions related to disabilities are “the #1 complaint received by [his] office” — and one that, he warned, was “growing” in importance.
Those concerns will, as per CP, be shown to have been justified in today’s report, in which Parent notes that the government “did not have any established process for identifying priority cases,” which led to files being addressed “in a completely arbitrary manner.”
Parent, CP reports, is also “worried the issues identified in his review will only get worse once a controversial new pension for life for disabled veterans comes into effect next year,” and has called on the government “to redouble its efforts to fix the problem.”

Just heard the same on the CBC here...
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/veterans-ombudsman-1.4820067
Right away, I am not optimistic this latest bark has any bite to it at all.
Not when it comes to GoC actions.
The OVO can be helpful on an individual basis, but the GoC?
Might as well just pxxx in the wind because I expect the most sincerest positive spin/rebuttal the MVA/VAC will have in a press release shortly.
