Rick Doucet for Charlotte-The Isles tells Tide News Canadian law requires armed forces to be ready for deployment for 10 years of service in order to be eligible for a pension.
Doucet says vets who are injured in the line of duty are losing their pensions because they are not able to fulfill their deployment duties.
He says, "Something has gone off track in the last year or so, where what's happening is injured veterans are being put out on the streets prior to their ten years. All I want to do is let's see if we can't work together and get it fixed."
Doucet says Motion 8 is currently being debated in the Legislature.
He wants to province to take a stand for vets and tell Ottawa its "the right thing to do".
