Veterans Affairs Canada will not pay for benefits for incarcerated relatives of veterans in the wake of the Christopher Garnier case. But what wasn't immediately clear is whether this move by Veterans Affairs will have any direct impact on Garnier. Veterans Affairs Canada told CBC News it doesn't keep records of how many incarcerated family members of veterans are receiving benefits from the department. During Question Period Tuesday, Phil McColeman, the federal Conservatives' critic for Veterans Affairs, asked Veterans Affairs Minister Seamus O'Regan to intervene in the Garnier case and "right this wrong." He said veterans across Canada are outraged Garnier is receiving benefits through Veterans Affairs.
