Thank you very much.
Every time you speak to us, I am just so impressed with the fabulous work you're doing. I thank you on behalf of all Canadians.
Following up on Mr. Kerr's issues, which are so important, there's just not enough. Remembrance Day is coming up and I am making every attempt to engage the schools in my riding. I can tell you that there is almost a resistance, and there are excuses that they are a very multicultural schools and so on and so forth. People are going to find all kinds of excuses like, well, we may offend somebody.... You know what I mean. I could just.... Well, I won't say what I would like to do, but it's just infuriating that this is Canada and we have people who don't want to talk about the war and don't want to talk about the past.
Going on to what Mr. Kerr said, how much work are you doing with the provinces to make scholastic changes so that we are teaching more in our schools? If you don't know your history, it will repeat itself. A lot of our kids think war is glamorous. They think it's all just super stuff. They have to understand about the loss of life and just how violent and awful the war was. If we can't get that taught to them in our schools, never mind recognizing Remembrance Day. It's a real problem.
What are you doing with the provinces and how forcefully are you pursuing changes in some of the education systems?
