First of all, Minister, I want to thank you for being here. I want to thank you as well for following in the footsteps of what I perceive to be a very passionate view for veterans and the welfare of veterans, which you're exhibiting here today.
My question has to do with honouring our vets. In my community we have two very excellent examples of how we honour vets. Once is the Thank-A-Vet Luncheon, at which we get over 800 vets of diverse ethnic backgrounds, including many aboriginal vets from the Six Nations, who are in my riding. We also have a very rich Canadian Military Heritage Museum. Just as a plug, Minister Thompson visited on two occasions over the last three years, and I'd like you to consider it.
Nonetheless, here's my question. Often, because of the diversity of the backgrounds of some of our vets, some of them—and specifically to your own self, French Canadians, in the Second World War especially—are unfortunately not recognized as much as they should be in our history books. Could you discuss what you are contemplating or might be doing to ensure that Canadian heroes of all linguistic and ethnic backgrounds are remembered for their contributions to this country?
