Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to point out again that it comes as no surprise that the Conservative Party is asking us to ignore the voices of veterans on this issue. That's exactly what the Conservative Party did when it was in power. In 2014, it announced the location of this monument with a press release, without even taking the time to consult with veterans. Not surprisingly, the veterans weren't happy. The Conservatives chose a location often blocked by snow in the winter and subject to flooding in the spring.
We overturned that decision, listened to what the veterans had to say and chose a suitable location. We'll continue to listen to veterans.
