Well, let me give you an example. I lobbied the CBC for seven years—seven years—to get them to do anything about coverage. We did receive, on July 30, 2013, approximately two and a half minutes of coverage, followed by a crocodile that was eating golf balls in Florida. The opening reel of footage showed Americans in Okinawa. The coverage that Operation Husky has had is dismal.
I must give credit to VAC and our embassies. Last year, the minister came out, and didn't just go to Ortona, but came down to visit Agira. That's twice that a minister of veterans affairs has come—as far back as we have records.
I'm committed to 2028. I'll tell you, with this Walk for Remembrance and Peace, if we can convince Canadians that this is worthy of the title “Canadian Camino”, we could engage the imagination of Canadians and get them to walk that battlefield, where 562 men died in 28 days and 2,310 were wounded.
My goal is to put Operation Husky on the map by 2023 in a stellar way.
