Mr. Speaker, I recently learned of the passing of Mr. Garth Webb, a veteran of the Second World War and the D-Day landings. Mr. Webb was a determined leader who worked tirelessly to ensure recognition for Canada's veterans.
As the leader of the Juno Beach Association, Mr. Webb was instrumental in building the Juno Beach Centre in France. The memorial and interpretive centre, which pay homage to the Canadian effort in the Second World War, especially the Battle of Normandy in 1944, exist today because of Mr. Webb's great dedication.
Even after his death, the Juno Beach Centre will remain as a testament to his passion and as a tribute to the courage and determination of Canada's Second World War veterans.
The sacrifice and service of Canadian veterans such as Garth Webb serve as an example to all. I offer my most sincere condolences to his family and to his friends.
