Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Schellenberger, I think this is a wonderful initiative on your part. I'm kind of struggling with how to approach it, though.
Mr. Lévesque, you were talking about Her Majesty and the right of Canada and taking the word “military” out. Were you talking about the Star of Military Valour and the Medal of Bravery? The reason I ask that question is that I received the Medal of Bravery in 1987, and I'd like to know if it's still mine.
My father-in-law just passed away. He was a navy veteran who had two ships shot out from under him. If anybody tried to tell him those weren't his decorations, you would have had your hands full.
I was just curious, because the day in 1987 when I received my award, there were two Star of Courage medals given posthumously. An individual had walked through a burning house to save children and got them out but ultimately died. They were for things of that nature. Would this apply in cases like that?
