Thank you, Mr. Norlock, for that excellent question, and thank you for your comment on the navy league. I would like to say to you and your colleagues that I know that all of you in your constituencies support the navy, air, and army cadet events. I thank you for that on behalf of all of us. I believe that these are the finest youth development programs in Canada. They are jewels. If all Canadian parents were aware of these opportunities for their children, this program would be even more popular.
Your comments about the Second World War are germane. We had 1,800 sailors in the Canadian Navy in 1939; we had 100,000 in 1945. The two areas in the country that attracted the most young men into the navy were Winnipeg and Calgary, and I'm not sure why that was. It could be that the wheat looked like the sea, as it were, but just a different colour.
