The Veteran and Family Well-Being Fund has spent $70M since 2018, yet Veterans Affairs Canada cannot confirm its effectiveness. Internal audits reveal vague goals, poor outcome tracking, and regional bias concerns. Only one-third of projects provided sufficient data. Veterans and taxpayers need transparency, independent audits, and evidence-based accountability.

Bloc Québécois MP Marie-Hélène Gaudreau is the swing vote on Parliament’s Veterans Affairs Committee this session. Her decisive role could shape support for Veterans nationwide, particularly in Quebec. Key priorities she may champion include memorials, well-being initiatives, oversight of funding, and action on chemical exposure-related health claims.
