Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our guests.
The first question I would like to ask is on commemoration. In my view, if I understand all that's being done by the department, I don't think there is enough done to really stress and make people aware of the Canadian contribution, especially to the First and Second World Wars. I don't think there is enough knowledge, especially in the young generation here in this country and on other continents, including Europe, of the great contributions Canada made, especially to the First World War and Second World War.
I think the general view would be distorted and our role and contribution would be underestimated. There is really a need that there be a full understanding, because I don't think there is another matching contribution on a percentage basis by any other country among the allied forces.
