I cannot think of a single example of a newcomer with whom I spoke who did not express great pride in being able to be part of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Once again, I do not want to speak for all newcomers; however, from what I understand based on the experiences and stories they told me, they are extremely proud to be here. They see it as a real opportunity to integrate into Canadian society and to thank the country that welcomed them at a time when things may have been difficult for them.
