Liberals get their way because Conservative MPs are late for meeting

"they weren't very happy" how would they like to lose an hour's wage, or a day's wage for being late like people with real jobs?

Look after the Vets at what ever the cost. Maybe get rid of a few politicians to cover the cost.

Show up to your job on time when your job is that important and maybe things like this won't happen. If they "weren't very happy", well, too bad. Be mad at the three guys who couldn't be bothered being where they needed to be at the time they were needed.

Let them be late, I wish there were more quick thinkers like Sean Casey to take advantage of embarassing moments,

They must have missed the "you snooze, you lose" hour in kindergarten.

So do these 3 stooges get docked for being late and not doing their job? Not likely.

Well, lets use facts and reason and not ideology to make important decisions that affect Canadians. Good for Casey.

Veterans risked their lives on missions and they deserved to be taken care of properly. I wonder why Harpers henchmen want to cut their benefits.

It is a shame how we treat our veterans in this country. Especially when we're sending them into combat for dubious reasons that only serve the interests of war profiteering corporations and not the Canadian people. I'm sure our veterans appreciate even this small victory.

and lost in the story is the fact that veterans will suffer $$$ losses. there may be fewer WW and Korean vets but how many wounded are being created through our efforts in Iraq, Afganistan etc.

Typical power arrogance. Just because you hold the power does not mean you can slack. Cheers to Sean Casey for not slacking.

No Canadian should ever risk his/her life fighting for Canada if he/she is repaid with a kick in the teeth. A few years ago, it was reported that a few vets were homeless and one had died on the street. It is very strange that Harper defended the soldier who abused his power by using an army plane, that cost taxpayers $95000, to fly to the Caribbean for his holidays but yet possibly deprive necessities to the "lowly" veterans. Thank heavens for lady luck and for the lazy as is (sp lol) who sleep in.

Oh that is so sweet.

Beautiful!! As a retired member of the Canadian Forces, I greatly appreciate this delay in the cuts. Maybe the findings will show that the proposed cuts will have a HUGE impact on Veterans. Bravo!!

Who were the 3 late members?. Isn't that worth reporting? Who writes this stuff?

The Tories are pro-war but anti-troops. Why do you soldiers fight for a man who hates your veterans?

Incredible advances have been made during the past three decades in treating both the physical and psychological injuries suffered by soldiers in active war zones. These treatments consist more than warehousing the injured and certainly cost a lot more. Most Canadians want out vets to receive the best care. Most Canadians believe they do actually receive the care. The horrible truth is the don't get the care and Gov't would rather build prisons than hospitals for the troops that can't fit in after the war. If you can afford the war you can afford to support the Veterans.

Why aren't the 3 that were late named? I want to know who doesn't think work is their number 1 priority. As elected officials, being late isn't acceptable.

If the money goes to the few veterans who are left I applaud Casey. If it goes to over staff goverment offices than I don't. No doubt there are a lot less 2nd world war veterans alive. But also no doubt they deserve whatever we give them.

MPs should have $500 deducted every time they are late. Like this, they will probably wake up earlier and show the respect they should show to those who have elected them and made it possible for them to represent us.
The solution is simple, thus stop complaining that the MPs are late. TAKE MEASURES!
