Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming here today.
My question revolves around veterans and war. This past Friday we had a national day of honour when we celebrated the conclusion of our mission in Afghanistan, and this year will also mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War, which lasted more than four years, and the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War.
In its report on plans and priorities, the Department of Canadian Heritage stated that "Using existing resources, the Department will fund activities that give Canadians opportunities to participate in the commemoration of the two World Wars...”.
Can you tell us a little about what those existing resources are, and how the department will mark the anniversary of these historic events?
