Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 35)

" To better support veterans where they live, Budget 2016 proposes to reopen and staff service offices in Charlottetown, Sydney, Corner Brook, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Saskatoon, Brandon, Prince George and Kelowna, open an additional office in Surrey, and expand outreach to veterans in the North by working with local partners. This will make it easier for veterans to access services across the country. [...] To implement these measures, Budget 2016 proposes to provide $78.1 million over five years, starting in 2016–17. "
