Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize November 11 as a very special Remembrance Day as we celebrate the Year of the Veteran.
Canadian veterans from all wars are honoured especially this year for their sacrifice and their service to our country.
From November 5 to November 11 we will be marking Veterans Week by remembering how important it is to pay tribute to our veterans by teaching our children and grandchildren what our heroes have done for us.
The greatest tribute we can make to our veterans is to build a better world and to carry on the proud tradition of Canada in their memory.
On this Remembrance Day I would like to thank our forces, both in Canada and abroad, and honour our veterans from all wars for their courage, sacrifice and devotion to our great country.
