I would answer that in a couple of ways. First, generally, when you witness the funeral or the ceremony that unfolds in front of you, it will be seamless. Whether we've had to negotiate a variety of options and make adjustments and try to adapt, when you see it unfold it's always going to be like, “Boy, this is perfect.”
An example that comes readily to me was the case of the memorial service to commemorate the tragic loss of the four soldiers who lost their lives in Tarnak Farms in Afghanistan, the original losses in Afghanistan, the first four, who were tragically killed by friendly fire from the Americans. Individual funerals were held in the communities where they came from.
An enormous memorial service was undertaken in a large venue in Edmonton, because they were all members of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. That ceremony was spectacular. I witnessed it on television, and there were aboriginal aspects to it, there were drums that appeared out of the darkness—there were a variety of things, as I try to recollect. The organizers of this were artful with the tremendous tribute they paid to those soldiers; however, in my recollection it was not in keeping with standard protocol and that sort of thing. That's fine; however, when you go to duplicate that 15 years from now, or you say, what did we do the last time, if it doesn't reference specifically the protocol or the traditions or the normal practices that we view as part of the Canadian way of doing things, you lose track of what you did the last time.
I'm trying to explain it as best I can, and that would be my answer.
