Mr. Speaker, this week is Legion Week here in Ontario. We as Canadians owe a great deal to the men and women of the Royal Canadian Legion who in many cases have devoted their lives to the remembrance of their fallen comrades as well as those who have made major sacrifices for the defence of our country.
Legion members across this land take up the torch daily to enhance the lives of seniors, youth, veterans and the disabled. Last year alone $310 million were raised and spent in communities across this country while three million hours of work were put in by volunteers and members of this great organization.
May I express the thanks of millions of Canadians for the great work and dedication given to us by the Royal Canadian Legion members.
