Mr. Chair, I will be sharing my time with my colleague, Mr. Gaudet.
Good morning, Mr. Sullivan. Thank you for your presentation. I looked at your documentation, and it was very interesting.
From what I saw, you developed some promotional tools tailored to elementary schools and high schools. You also refer to the Veterans Affairs Canada Web site. Can people order materials in large quantities? If not, do they have to print out the teacher's guide and educational materials? In addition, how do you go about promoting the week in schools? What is the school participation rate?
In terms of mobilizing people for Remembrance Day events, some people have told me that they are organizing activities in their ridings in cooperation with municipalities and legions. Unfortunately, however, they are having trouble getting in contact with veterans in their communities. Sometimes, the legions do not have all the information.
Do you have any suggestions for reaching more veterans? Are there any ways to help these people reach more veterans? According to them, there are only 10 or 15 people at some ceremonies. I am certain that there are veterans in some regions who do not know that a ceremony is being held. How can we reach more of them? Do you have any tools that could help?
