Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
NDP-6 deals with what I would loosely term as the “war dead”. That is to say they are those who went to war and fought for Canada but were not recognized as Canadians. Many of them died on the battlefield. I thought it was important, symbolically, to recognize them in that sense.
The changes would have no direct effects for Canada whatsoever. That said, I understand that this will not be supported, but it was important for me to put it on the record in any event.
