Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr says his party will reopen the closed Veterans Affairs office in Kelowna, if elected.
The office was closed following cuts in the 2012 federal budget.
“The Kelowna Veterans Affairs office offered important support and services to the women and men in our community who served this country so bravely,” said Fuhr. “The closure of the Kelowna office has left us without a valuable resource, and meant longer travel and worse service for those who need it.”
He said service men and women feel disrespected and abandoned by the Conservative government.
Fuhr said the Liberal party has committed to reopening nine closed Veterans Affairs offices across the country.
"No veteran will have to fight the government for the support and compensation they have earned," he said in a press release issued Friday morning.
He claimed Prime Minister Stephen Harper has "betrayed the men and women who fought for (the Canadian flag)."
