I find this very inspiring, in the sense that there are a lot of battles that don't get much attention, such as Beaumont-Hamel and others.
The other aspect of it is this. You're a retired lieutenant-general; you're very active as well. I find it very inspiring that more of our retired military, especially generals and colonels—the executive—are becoming more involved.
One thing that tends to be overlooked in this country is this subject, but also peacekeeping and what we have done in peacekeeping. We've done such phenomenal things around the world for so many years, although it's not documented enough for us to see, in some cases.
One such case is that of my colleague Roméo Dallaire, as I'm sure you would agree.
I thank you for being here today and doing this.
But I would like to move a motion, sir, if I may, about peacekeeping and how we can, in this study, talk about not just this but also the elements of peacekeeping and what we have done as peacekeepers with NATO during the Cold War.
I'd like to move to invite my colleague and honourable friend, retired Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire.
