Veterans Affairs Minister Greg Thompson is on the way home from Afghanistan — but — a group of military vets and civilians weren’t deterred and marched on his St Stephen office demanding a full public and judicial inquiry into the spraying of Agent Orange at Base Gagetown in the 50’s and 60’s.
Gary Good from British Columbia is one of the organizers — he served at Base Gagetown in the 60’s — and — he tells CHSJ News the vets have even been abandoned by the Royal Canadian Legion.
The group says if a public inquiry isn’t called by June 15th — they will march on Parliament Hill.
