Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question.
Right now, as part of our 10-year strategic plan, this is a blueprint for future commemorative programming. One key element of this plan is creative approaches to engage all Canadians including youth, new Canadians and indigenous peoples.
There needs to be a greater investment in the stewardship, presentation and commemorative integrity of Canada's commemorative footprint. It's very clear that we can only keep the achievements and the sacrifices of those who have served alive by ensuring that our youth are aware of their history, the impact on the present and what it means for the future.
Within Veterans Affairs Canada, as part of Veterans' Week, we have an extensive suite of learning resources and programming available. We work very closely with schools across the country to provide learning materials and lesson plans that they can use to share with their students and teach them about commemoration and the sacrifices of those who have served.
We recently finished our Valentines for Vets, which is a wonderful program where our youth develop valentines and share those with veterans in the long-term care facilities. This continues to be a focal point and a key area for commemoration as we move forward.
