## Resource

Next week I'm testifying in front of Parliament about how a for-profit rehabilitation contract—designed to help injured veterans—has been weaponized for profit. Here's what I uncovered. A half-billion-dollar contract given to Lifemark (owned by Loblaws, run by the Weston family) in partnership with an Australian firm and American private equity is systematically failing Canadian veterans. And they're about to ask for a BILLION dollars more. Download all the ATIP files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1swzt_zC25KFlJIFuwivk_fOTzLa8YAzg?usp=sharing
