Mr. Speaker, June 6 marks the 75th anniversary of the historic Allied invasion on D-Day.
Yesterday, the Minister of Veterans Affairs proudly announced Canada's effort to recognize and support the men and women who bravely fought on the beaches of Normandy. Our government will provide a maximum of $2,000 in travel assistance for up to 180 D-Day and Normandy veterans wishing to go to France in June. The application forms are available online, by email, or simply by calling Veterans Affairs Canada.
We are committed to helping make it possible for these great Canadians to be recognized for their service and sacrifice.
Lest we forget.
