Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Earlier this year, for the first time, a minister allowed the lowering to half mast of the flag on the Peace Tower to honour police officers killed in the line of duty.
Is the minister prepared to allow the lowering of the Peace Tower flag for other events of mourning such as the national day of mourning for workers killed and injured on the job or, more imminently, this Friday for the national day of remembrance and action on violence against women?
