Mr. Christopher and Mr. Thomson, I can see you're at the national headquarters of the Department of Veterans Affairs. I'm going to put in a little plug for the folks downtown who very much look forward to seeing your full teams back in the headquarters there at the Daniel J. MacDonald Building or the Jean Canfield or one of the other spaces you occupy. The provincial government seems to have figured out how they're able to work in downtown Charlottetown, and the business community looks very much forward to you folks doing the same.
I want to start with a phenomenon that is certainly very evident in Prince Edward Island. I expect you're going to tell me it goes much broader than that.
We really have seen a dramatic increase in recent years of attendance at commemoration events, domestically. If you've gone to the Charlottetown cenotaph in the last five years, the crowd seems to get bigger every year.
Surely you've recognized this phenomenon. How do you explain it?
