Thank you Mr. Page, Mr. Eggenberger, Mr. Whitty and Mr. Tilson for coming here to share your concerns with us.
We all consider that vandalism, the desecration of war memorials, the defilement of our veterans' honour and the huge sacrifices they made to defend our democracy are horrible, but I liked what you said concerning the cadets you take care of, Mr. Whitty. From what you say, they have a lot of respect for these memorials. Perhaps that explains why they also have respect for Canada's history, particularly Canadian military history. They have a better understanding of the significance.
Instead of instilling fear of prison, we could acquaint people with the sacrifices made by veterans. This could be done by teaching history. I would like you to tell me how you manage to make cadets aware of this issue, how you succeed in instilling such respect among them.
