I think it's very important to honour the men and women who served in our Afghan mission. It was Canada's longest mission. Of the many members who served, some gave the ultimate sacrifice. As well, many are coming back with issues. We take this job of commemoration seriously in our department. We are currently working with heritage to provide a dignified monument that respects their service. I can tell you that we mentioned it— and I don't know if you've had a chance to read our priority and planning document for the year—but that work is being done as we speak, so we're making progress.
