Yes, like this morning. I stood next to him, looked him right in the eye, and he formally presented me with my chief of police honorary badge and the card with my photograph on it and so forth. That was a very significant thing for me. Now I'm the honorary chief of police of Toronto. On my identification card, because there are a lot of honorary chiefs of police in Toronto, premiers and politicians and great people like that, my number is zero. It's significant that it's zero, and not one or five or whatever. It's zero. It means that I will have to be very careful in everything I do in Toronto now. When I go back today, I'll tell the chief that I was here, report to him that everyone treated me very carefully and nicely.
My name, by the way, is from Alsace. Rohmer. It sounds German, but it's a good French name. I had to put that in just so that you would understand.
Now this is the important thing, and I keep saying this, advising the minister—it's about the only thing I do because I don't make any decisions—you must concentrate on the veterans. The event is for them. Even though they're old and decrepit, they made a great contribution a long time ago, and the Dutch are the people who really respect them, so every focus will be in terms of what we're doing on looking after the veterans.
The minister has designated that there will be about nine or ten cadets from the Royal Military College of Canada travelling with us. They will be able to help the veterans. In Normandy we had a group from the Toronto Paramedic Services, of which I happen to be the honorary chief—it's just one of the things—and they looked after the veterans very well. They had to carry them off buses and airplanes and so forth and it worked very well. This time we're going to have some cadets from the Royal Military College.
The big event that we will participate in, again, is the big parade on May 5 at Wageningen. Arrangements have been made for the veterans to take part. Those who can't walk will go by vehicle. The Prime Minister will be able to say a few words during the ceremony. The town itself comes together with all its roads in the centre, and that's where the parade comes through. The saluting base is in that location as well. Canada has always taken a substantial part in the parade, and there will be with us in Holland about 150 members of our armed forces, both army and air force particularly. I had breakfast this morning with the Chief of the Defence Staff—he sent his respects to you—in English this morning. That's the way we operate. It works very well. He and I go way back to when he was a boy.
Yes?
