Mr. Speaker, it is too bad the member was not more clear on what he meant to do exactly with his bill.
Our government believes that it is not only important to recognize our veterans, but that it is our duty to remember the Canadians who sacrificed so much for our freedom and values. That is why our government supported this proposal in Parliament, and the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs heard from groups such as the Royal Canadian Legion and Canadian Veterans Advocacy.
Hearing from these groups was important to the consideration of such a wide-reaching veterans proposal.
