Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to announce in Winnipeg last Friday that the Government of Canada has decided to provide an additional $1.775 million toward the Juno Beach Centre project, bringing Canada's contribution to a total of a little over $3 million.
The funding will help in the completion of the project, in the official opening event and as well, in the creation of an interpretive program.
The Juno Beach Centre project will recognize Canada's overall contribution and achievements during the second world war.
