2025-2026 Legislative Program<\/h2>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t

\r\nUpon evaluation of the past year, the National Council of Veteran Associations in Canada (NCVA) and our 72 member associations continue to have significant concerns with respect to veterans legislation, regulations and policies. Our Legislative Program for 2025-26 underlines the essential steps required of the Government and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) to address and correct the persistent inequity and injustice affecting veterans and their families.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t

\r\nIn 2025, there were many political changes with the appointment of the Right Honourable Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, the new cabinet of ministers and the Honourable Jill McKnight as the new minister of veterans affairs\/associate minister of national defence.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t

\r\nWe are hopeful that under new leadership we will see meaningful change that will work toward remedying the long-standing inequities and systemic injustices that have adversely impacted veterans and their families, ensuring they receive the recognition, support and benefits they rightfully deserve.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t

\r\nThe complete Legislative Program<\/a> is available now. Below are our recommendations with respect to topics on veterans legislation, regulations and policies.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
