Parliament Video: Jenny raises concern about accessing medical marijuana treatment thru Veterans Affairs

On December 12th, 2019, Jenny rose and raised concerns:

Jenny Kwan (NDP) Vancouver East, BC

"Madam Speaker, congratulations to you, as well as to the member on her re-election.

I thank the member for her touching speech and especially for highlighting her connectedness through her family to veterans' affairs.

I have a constituent in my community of Vancouver East who has been having difficulty accessing medical marijuana through the Veterans Affairs system. In fact, some veterans are having such grave difficulty that it is causing additional stress and distress in their lives.

I am wondering if this is something the member can work with me to help resolve, not only for my constituents but I suspect for many people across the country as well."
