l I think those are the regional differences. Where it already is a holiday I think it is greatly supported. As you mentioned, after Nova Scotia brought in the Remembrance Day Act the participation rates went up. I didn't talk about that earlier because I don't have any statistics to bring forward to prove it, but anecdotally that's what we've heard in different jurisdictions.
Certainly when you say timely, we are coming up on the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 100th anniversary of Vimy is around the corner. This is a great time to rededicate ourselves to all those brave men and women who have served Canada faithfully throughout the years.
You mentioned also the cadets. In Scarborough on the last Sunday before Remembrance Day there has always been a ceremony that takes place at the Scarborough Civic Centre. It's one of the most impressive sights I've ever seen, because this is a six-storey structure that is very open-aired and each level is recessed further back so of course you have a great sightline. The cadets all are lined up in uniform along each one of those levels. You have hundreds of cadets lined up and every time you look up you see the great future of our country and the next generation that's ready to take their place in defence of our country. As I've said before, I don't think it could ever be said that we've done too much for those who have put their lives on the line for us.
