加拿大退伍军人监督员伊丽莎白·贾丁(Elizabeth Jardine)谴责一项新的预算法案,即追溯性地将各领土排除在可追溯到1998年的长期护理付款计算之外,称这一举动不公平且史无前例。 Canada’s veterans’ watchdog, Elizabeth Jardine, has condemned a new budget bill for retroactively excluding the territories from long-term care payment calculations dating back to 1998, calling the move unfair and unprecedented. 退伍军人和倡导者都说,这种改变使数十年来的过度充斥永久化,可能阻止成千上万的人寻求补偿。 The change, which veterans and advocates say perpetuates decades of overcharging, could block thousands from seeking reimbursement. 已经发起集体诉讼, 贾丁敦促政府纠正错误, 警告忽视过去的错误会破坏信任. A class-action lawsuit has been launched, and Jardine urged the government to correct the error, warning that ignoring past mistakes undermines trust. 退伍军人事务部长吉尔·麦克奈特(Jill McKnight)说,这些变化澄清了过去计算,不影响未来福利,但Jardine在12月提出修改法案的请求后尚未收到答复。 Veterans Affairs Minister Jill McKnight said the changes clarify past calculations without affecting future benefits, but Jardine has not received a response to her December request to amend the bill. 保守派议员Pat Kelly指控政府利用预算逃避问责。 Conservative MP Pat Kelly accused the government of using the budget to avoid accountability.
