Thanks for sharing that. We've heard that over and over again recently, and it's really a shame and a disservice to our veterans.
For the service clubs, we heard from the Royal Canadian Legion in their committee testimony on Tuesday that if the government had acted sooner and provided certainty with funds sooner, some Legion branches would likely not have closed.
Did you request funds earlier from the government, and what was the government's response, if any, to those requests for funds for your organizations?
Any one of you can go ahead.
