Mr. Speaker, today marks the 67th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.
We pay tribute to the more than one million Canadian men and women who fought and the more than 47,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.
I urge all Canadians from coast to coast to coast to take a moment to remember the heroic efforts of those who fought for freedom during the Second World War.
The values they fought for are those that shaped our country, and the courage, the honour and the valour they displayed are an inspiration to us all.
Their legacy lives on in the peace and freedom we enjoy today. Lest we forget.
Lest we forget.
