Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Of course, I was involved with the discussion and agreed at the time, but I think you know how strongly I feel about tradition and what I spoke about before.
We had the leaders here from, I believe, six veterans organizations when I discussed the tradition in the Peace Tower. The Memorial Chamber being in the Peace Tower, my initial tendency right now--after receiving this letter--is to agree with the Speaker. But because of the nature of the magnitude of it and how he's shed some new light on it, I think it should be cause for pause and some reflection on our parts before we go ahead.
I don't think there will be a restriction, as far as what we had mentioned before, about putting some art in this room. But I do understand about an official designation and how there may be a concern of diminishing what is already there, which is quite grand in and of itself.
