Mr. Speaker, this gives me an opportunity, as minister in charge of the Mint, to remind people how thankful and honoured I was this morning to unveil the 25ยข poppy coin. This coin will be a pointed reminder of the thanks that we owe our service men and women for defending our Canadian values.
Furthermore, the Mint has created a Remembrance Day collector card and all of the proceeds from the sale of these cards will go directly to support our military families.
As we approach the Day of Remembrance, I know that Canadians thank our veterans and our service people for their sacrifice.
