Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize veterans, a community I hold in very high regard.

At the end of summer, I participated in the third annual Vancouver Island Run for Homeless Veterans, for the men and women who faithfully served our country in uniform and now find themselves on the street.

Last week, the annual vigil was held at the Cobble Hill cenotaph to honour Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and all those who have lost their lives on Canadian soil in non-combat situations. I introduced Bill C-333 to formally recognize October 22 as peacetime service and sacrifice memorial day in their memory. I urge the government to adopt this legislation.

Veterans Week will commence next week. We will honour Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8. I will be joining my community for Remembrance Day at the Duncan cenotaph, with representatives laying wreaths for me at the other four ceremonies in my riding.

As we wear our poppies in honour of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, let us also commit to standing with those who remain.
