Mr. Speaker, I agree that Robert Shankland was a Canadian hero and served his country well, there is no question about that.
We do have a number of measures in place to ensure that medals of historical significance do not leave the country. But, at the end of the day, as other governments have grappled with this as well in terms of the selling of these medals, it is really a balancing of interests between the Canadian public and the rights of owners. We are cognizant of that and we will do our best.
