Thank you Mr. Chair, Mr. Watts, and Mr. Ray.
You know over the past number of weeks I've been talking to many veterans across my riding. They have a feeling that if you attach a holiday to Remembrance Day, it's telling our youth that it's a day off, it's a time to go out to the pool, it's a time to go out doing their own activities. That's what their concern is. It's not about the remembrance part; it's about the holiday. I think that's a dangerous slope that many veterans are concerned about.
Do you feel that by making Veterans Day a holiday it will diminish Veterans Day? Do you think it will just be another holiday to our children and our grandchildren?
