Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, everyone. I love talking about history.
Witnesses, you weren't on the last call, but I showed a picture of my grandfather that was recreated in the War Museum.
William, this is my Uncle Bert. He was on a corvette which was sunk in the North Atlantic. That's my Uncle Don. He was a tail gunner and was shot down on July 23 over France. He hid with the French underground for a year until after the war.
Colleagues, I'm sorry to bring this up again.
Steve, because I'm new to the committee, you're the first one I have from DND as a witness.
I have a Silver Cross mother who works for me. Her son was killed in action in 2010 in Afghanistan. It was horrific.
With the unveiling of the Afghanistan memorial two years ago, she was notified of that by letter two days after it happened. I haven't had anyone yet who can assure me that the families of the fallen, definitely those from Afghanistan, are notified when there's an unveiling.
I wonder if you know of a process that has been put in place for this, because I'm having trouble finding the answer.
