Thank you very much, and thank you to Mr. Young for repeating some sections from my speech in the House, where I did, in fact, clearly outline that the power to create this day off rested with the provinces, and that the education the kids receive rests within that provincial curriculum. That's certainly not something that I would contest to change. This is how the division of powers is laid out in our constitution, and the provinces do get to decide which days are and aren't off.
Now, Comrade Ray, I notice, and it's quite sensible, that you don't send folks from the Legion out to the schools on Remembrance Day because you have a lot to accomplish on that day. That actually was another one of the arguments I made in my speech, that I thought there would be a greater opportunity for more veterans to be in schools at the schools' ceremonies if the ceremonies took place the last school day before Remembrance Day. As you just mentioned, you do send people out beforehand.
Remembrance Day itself is a solemn occasion, but wouldn't you agree that it should definitely not be the only day on which the kids learn about the tragedies of war?
