Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday representatives from the Navy League will be hear to tell all members of Parliament about Naval Appreciation Day.
On behalf of the New Democratic Party federally and provincially across the country and for that matter, all members of the House of Commons from all parties, I would like to extend special congratulations to all the current members of our navy, the past members of our navy and those in the Navy League.
For over 90 years the men and women of our navy have served Canada extremely well by serving in various conflicts and wars around the world.
We as parliamentarians have the ultimate responsibility to ensure that those who sign up and have the ultimate liability have their needs met.
They will be here on Wednesday. I encourage all members of Parliament to take the time to offer our congratulations to the brave men and women of our navy. They do a great job and, coming from the garrison city of Halifax, I must say that we are very proud to be the east coast home of Canada's navy.
A bravo zulu to all members of the Canadian navy.
