Mr. Speaker, Remembrance Day is a time to acknowledge the courage and determination of the men and women who have served our country with such dedication throughout its history.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to strive to preserve the peace for which they gave their lives.
Lest we forget, wars have often had a terrible impact on the Canadians who have taken part in them. People of all ages and backgrounds have lost their lives or been injured on the battlefield.
And many who have come back from the front have not returned unscathed. Everywhere they have served, abroad or here in Canada, veterans have answered the call to serve their country.
In remembering all those who have served in wartime, we recognize the many people who suffered for us so that we could live here in peace.
We thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Let us never forget.
