Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's a pleasure to be here today, with my honourable colleague Mr. Waugh and the others.
Mr. Fraser and I sit on the veterans affairs committee. I know that he's very sincere when he deals with veterans issues, and I can sense the sincerity in his private member's bill here.
You talked earlier about the Legion. As you said, we'll be hearing from Mr. White, Dominion secretary with the Dominion command of the Royal Canadian Legion. They represent roughly 300,000 members. You said that some members will be coming in on Thursday.
In previous testimony, Mr. White said the following:
The Legion's position on this issue is our concern that Canadians, if given the time off as a legal holiday, will not take the time to remember. It may simply become another long weekend or mid-week break.
What would you say to that, Mr. Fraser?
