Mr. Speaker, in general terms, I absolutely believe and support that veterans and people who have served and are serving deserve the best legislation that we can collectively put forward.
As we approach the 100th anniversary of the First World War, it makes me think of my Uncle Harold and Alvin Miller who both served. My Uncle Alvin got as far as Halifax when the war ended. Thankfully, he did not have to go, but my Uncle Harold did. On my mom's side, I have my great Uncle Bertram Isaac Pyke who is buried in Groesbeek cemetery. I have a distinct love and respect, as I think most people do, for our veterans.
Of course, we should get the proposed legislation passed. It is not perfect, but I look forward to supporting it and getting it to committee.
