Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd also like to thank our three witnesses for giving us extremely important information.
The acts committed on Canada's National War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are disgusting. What happened was truly disturbing. A fence was installed afterwards, which reassured us, but protesters took it down. The police watched them do it. I still have a great deal of difficulty understanding and accepting this type of thing.
Good people can be found among the protesters, but others are committing criminal acts and they're not being arrested for it. I find that unacceptable.
The Canadian flag being waved around was not respected when we celebrated its 57th anniversary. I'm thinking of Nathan Cirillo, who was killed on October 22, 2014.
All of this makes me terribly sad and I'd like to know how veterans are feeling about it.
Hello, Ms. Garrett-Baird. It's a pleasure to see you again.
Did your staff get calls from veterans? They called my office to say they were very disappointed by the situation. Did veterans share their feelings with you?
