Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you both very much for coming.
For those of my colleagues who have never had a chance to tour the museum, I highly recommend you do. It's a four-hour outstanding opportunity to witness our history.
I thank you both very much, and the War Museum staff for what they do.
I have a couple of questions for you. In your brochure—and I don't mean this as a slight—there is no mention of the 110th anniversary next year of the ending of the Boer War, which was the first war to which Canada actually sent a regiment. More than 250 people lost their lives there, and yet we don't seem, in my own view, to commemorate that event as much as we do other events.
Also, the Asian conflicts—the Battle of Hong Kong, whose 70th anniversary is next Christmas, and our intervention in Burma—seem to be overlooked in comparison with the other events that are happening. Could you advise the committee what commemorative events are being planned for those specific ones, if any?
Then, in terms of promoting the museum to our schools and our children in our regions across the country, how can we promote what I think is one of the finest museums I've ever witnessed anywhere in the world?
Thank you so much for your work.
