The story of the Veterans Independence Program continues (see below). Betty admits in Kamloops This Week that this is a "major issue" and something the Conservatives "promised we will do."
According to the article, "Hinton said the Conservatives could enact the changes immediately, ut she said her government has chosen to instead examine the program .... there are three prongs to that review process."
This is pretty transparent. They could do the right thing and extend the benefits to widows as they promised. Instead, they're stalling. Betty's justification: "this is pretty immediate."
No wonder she's down in the polls today.
