Madam Speaker, I just want to thank my colleague for highlighting the incredible service that so many veterans rendered to Canada and for tying it to what we are here to do as a democracy. It is important.
I want to highlight his recognizing retired brigadier-general Hayter, a man who served in my regiment. One of my first tasks as a subaltern was to be his aide at a mess dinner. I cannot repeat some of the stories that occurred that night and the dance I had to do for him and another general I was the aide to at the same time.
I want to thank the member for recognizing indigenous veterans as well. I encourage and invite all parliamentarians, if they get the opportunity, to come to my riding of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound and go to the town of Wiarton. There is a brand new mural there, done by Silvia Pecota, that pays incredible tribute to the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, which I think had the highest percentage of any first nation in Canada serving in the First World War. I think something like over 60% of that first nation's members served in the First World War.
