OTTAWA—The Trudeau government’s treatment of injured veterans will be under the spotlight Monday when a B.C. court rules whether a landmark lawsuit filed by six disabled ex-soldiers can proceed. The veterans, who launched their lawsuit five years ago, allege those changes discriminate against today’s service members because the previous pension system provided more financial support over a lifetime. They want the government to bring back the disability pensions, or at least something equivalent. Meanwhile, the Liberals have continued to fight the lawsuit, which the Harper Conservatives appeared on the verge of settling before losing the election.
