As a kid, I grew up down the street from Fire Hall 3 in Fort McMurray, so firefighters have always been our heroes. They used to feed us when we were kids.
I want to point out a special medal that is underneath the name tag of Mr. Pitchers. That's his wildfire medal, which was awarded to him and to many frontline people in the aftermath of the Fort McMurray fire. I'll note that it has not been put on the same side as the rest of his medals. I'm using this as an opportunity—it's a shameless plug—to ask members from the government to help get this medal recognized by the Governor General so that our service members from Fort McMurray who were awarded this critically important medal for bravery for the wildfire can wear it on the left-hand side.
This is my shameless plug. This is an opportunity to stand up for the thousands of people who were awarded this medal in my community for their tireless bravery in what could have been an absolute disaster. They managed to do amazing work.
