Could the minister responsible for housing explain this rights-based approach?

Mr. Speaker, the people in my riding of Cambridge and North Dumfries and across this great nation are proud of the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who serve our country with pride and distinction, and of their long history of valour, both at home and abroad.Given their service and sacrifice, it is incumbent on this government to ensure they receive a dignified burial worthy of their dedication.Can the Minister of Veterans Affairs explain his plan to ensure veterans and all members of the Canadian Armed Forces receive the funeral benefits they have earned?
