Veterans' Bill of Rights
The Veterans' Bill of Rights is a bill of rights in Canada for veterans of the Canadian Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police.〔Melinda Dalton, "Harper unveils vets bill of rights; PM visits region to make policy announcement," ''The Record'', Kitchener, Ontario: April 4, 2007, pg. A.1.〕 It was enacted by the federal government in 2007. It guarantees benefits for veterans from Veterans Affairs Canada and equality of veterans, and refers to them as "special citizens." It also theoretically "entrenches respect and dignity for veterans and their families."〔Mike Blanchfield, "Little thrown at military front: Spending as promised, new ombudsman office," ''Edmonton Journal'', March 20, 2007, pg. A.5.〕
==History==
In the 2006 federal election, the Conservative Party of Canada campaigned for veterans' rights.〔CBC News, "(Canada's veterans get bill of rights )," April 3, 2007, URL accessed 3 April 2007.〕〔"MP promises to establish veterans ombudsman," ''Daily Gleaner'', Fredericton, February 24, 2007, pg. A.5.〕 The Conservatives said a bill of rights would remedy what they saw as the "shameful way" veterans were handled by the government.〔CBC News, "(Conservatives promise bill of rights for veterans )," December 28, 2005, URL accessed 3 April 2007.〕 In December 2005, Conservative leader Stephen Harper claimed, "We continue to receive complaints that the department is not service-oriented... that is, the bureaucracy treats people as a bureaucracy and a number and that's obviously why we're making the bill of rights, the ombudsman and the structural changes we're talking about to try to shift that focus."〔Bill Cleverley, "Tories address rights of veterans," ''Calgary Herald'', December 29, 2005, pg. A.4.〕 The Conservatives formed a minority government.
Parliamentary secretary Betty Hinton assisted the introduction of the bill of rights,〔Catherine Litt, "Hinton happy to keep war veterans job," ''Kamloops Daily News'', January 5, 2007, pg. A.1.Fro.〕 as did veterans' groups.〔 In April 2007, Prime Minister Harper and Minister of Veterans Affairs Greg Thompson told the press in Kitchener, Ontario that the bill of rights would come into effect then and there would be a new ombudsman for veterans along with it.〔〔"Ombudsman, bill of rights for veterans," ''Leader Post'', Regina, Saskatchewan: April 4, 2007, pg. D.6.〕 This discussion took place at around the same time as Harper was about to observe an anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in World War I.〔Jay Hill, "Doing what's right for our veterans," ''Alaska Highway News'', April 6, 2007, pg. B.5.〕〔CTV.ca News Staff, "(PM announces veterans' ombudsman, bill of rights )," April 3, 2007, URL accessed 3 April 2007.〕 Earlier, the Conservatives' budget included $19 million to introduce the ombudsman's office.〔
