Certainly. Thank you so much for that question. It's a very valid question.
I think aboriginals are represented at the War Memorial over here, just down the road. I also believe--I not only believe but I know, specifically--that the Korean War vets are recognized in a commemorative ceremony that is established in Brampton. I believe it's important that we continue to champion for those who have served in this country.
Specifically, I think the black community has not stepped up to the plate, to be honest, in terms of continuous requests and a forthrightness. I believe it's incumbent upon me, not only as a Canadian but as a black senator, that these issues that come to the fray I bring to the attention of government and gain support from every member, right across all political stripes. This is not about a partisan issue here. This is a non-partisan issue where we recognize truly the contributions of all Canadians.
We know that the face of Canada has changed over the last 50 years. I believe we need to continue to recognize those communities that have served this country irrespective of where from around the globe they've come.
