I want to begin by thanking the Canadian Armed Forces for their historic and ongoing service to this country. The reality is that our Canadian Armed Forces have consistently stepped up to serve our country. Whether it is in long-term care homes in COVID-19, fighting forest fires and floods in Canada, or assisting with the evacuation from Afghanistan or with Operation Reassurance and occupying NATO's eastern flank in support of the deterrence and defence posture of NATO, our Canadian Armed Forces have always been there for Canada. We must be there for them as well.
