I have written many times that Remembrance Day should be right up there with Canada Day, in particular. I believe that with all my heart. I am hoping that if this bill did pass, maybe we could have the veterans up where they should be, so they have all the respect they deserve.
People say that the children should be in the schools on Remembrance Day. Well, I am sorry, but they couldn't be in the schools on Remembrance Day if we had the holiday. If the Legion, in particular, said that they should be in the schools on Remembrance Day, then they have to go to the education and have the education say, “We'll open the schools on Sunday so the students can be in the schools on Sunday”, because that's their biggest argument.
