Mr. Speaker, November 5 marks the beginning of Veterans' Week.
During this time, we remember the brave men and women who have put on the uniform. We must remember the sacrifices they made to protect the freedom of those they would never meet or know.
Earlier this year, members of the Canadian Armed Forces answered the call and put their health on the line to ensure that seniors living in long-term care facilities affected by COVID-19 outbreaks were taken care of.
Reflecting on what has ben such a difficult year, I am thinking of every military member unable to be with their loved ones as they bravely serve our country. I am thinking of the veterans we have lost and their loved ones left behind.
We are forever in their debt. Because of their service and sacrifice, Canada remains the true north strong and free.
