Trudeau in Sydney today

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is back in Sydney today with Veteran’s Affairs Minister Kent Hehr to take part in the reopening of the Veterans Affairs office.  Trudeau will also meet with veterans at a local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

It was local veterans who got upset about the closure of the office, and others across the country, by the former Harper Government.
