I'd like to start by saying that, first off, I don't think anybody challenges the idea that we have to respect and celebrate and commemorate our veterans and the sacrifices made on behalf of average, everyday Canadians. That's a given. It's how we do it and what are the best educational opportunities to get that done.
We firmly believe...and there's been a debate through the course of our history, right from 1926 all the way to today at this presentation, on how we do that with Canadians across the country. Some years it's yes; some years it's no. The position of the Legion at 2012 was that we do not want to have Remembrance Day as a national holiday.
What we want to do is work with organizations, with schools. Through the teachers network, in particular, and the teaching guide that we have, we want to provide an educational experience for Canadians to have an understanding of what remembrance is all about. We feel the best way to do it is to have the children in school.
